What it means: Someone who steals your lunch from the fridge at work despite the fact that you labelled it VERY clearly. When to use it: When you're watching Southpark and Kenny dies or when you find the guy chewing on your delicious, turkey sandwich that had the correct sauce: meat: bread ratio, "you b*stard!" It's probably better to whisper it too, just to sound extra menacing. Where it came from: The term bastard stems from medieval Latin 'bastardus' which means packsaddle. Back in the day before comfy mattresses, a lot of travellers would have packsaddles that they would use a replacement mattress, and thus, a lot of bastard children would be born from one night of love making with a stranger in the middle of the woods with your pack-saddle.
