prettygoodwordvarmint (VAHR-muhnt) - n., (chiefly S. U.S.) an objectionable or undesirable animal, usually predatory, vermin; a despicable, obnoxious, or annoying person.
Coyotes are the varmint of choice around here, though bobcats also get the stink-eye. This is a variant of vermin dating to the 1530s that has survived mainly in southern and southern midland United States, itself from from Old French, from Vulgar Latin *vermīnum, from Latin vermis, worm.
