A '''Jerkass''' (a portmanteau of "jerk" and "jackass") is a character who is defined by being completely unkind, intolerant, smug and having no regard for anyone's well-being, opinions or else. Technically, they relish in schadenfreude.
 
Jerkasses come in many shapes and sizes: some don't even bother trying to conceal how reprehensible they are - often times, these types are portrayed as outwardly sanctimonious, bigoted and intolerant of anyone who does things they don't like and tend to be crass, foul-mouthed and unapproachable in general. Others hide their rotten true colors behind a false front of good manners and charm, while indulging in their true behavior more covertly.
