Scheisskopf: (German) (s.) (v.) shithead. Composed of the German words scheiss (shit) and kopf (head) and with the exact same meaning as the
English equivalent. A
person, of
disfavorable disposition (i.e.
jerk,
asshole,
scumbag,
Cock mcNugget,
fuckface,
etc.)
There was also a character in the
Joseph Heller novel,
Catch-22, with the
surname Scheisskopf. As I recall, he had a very
bad temper and wasn't the brightest
star in the sky. He starts out as a
lieutenant and, throughout the course of the
book, works his way up to
lieutenant general and can be seen as a
symbol of the
disfavor among
enlisted men, especially high-ranking ones, for
officers, as he embodies pretty much everything an
enlisted man hates in an
officer.
