shithead
   ‘Maxwell, you shithead, get your ass outta my face,’ is said by a professional football player to a team-mate in North Dallas Forty, by Peter Gent. The man addressed takes no notice of the instruction or the vocative, which he certainly does not think insulting. As the novel makes abundantly clear, normal conversational interchange between professional American footballers is aggressive by normal standards, with obscenities taken for granted. You shithead’ is also used fairly mildly in I’ll Take Manhattan, by Judith Krantz, where it is said by an American girl to her brother.
