Hello! Can anybody tell me which would be the right word to refer despectively to a person which behaviour has serioulsy damaged somebody, like, for instance, the man in Austria who kept his daughter in a cellar during 24 years. Can it be brutal or awesome?
Thanks.

Hi mara! For this creep I can think of many words, but not awesome. Actually, awesome is very often used to describe something really incredibly good, so here it would be definitely out of place.

brutal, cruel, sadistic, inhuman, savage, vicious, callous, cutthroat.....

I heard "monster" on TV (but I think they are offending monsters

)

JaJaJaJa mem...que graciosa!

Coincido con Exx. Awesome significa algo que inspira asombro de buena forma.

Soy pap� de dos mujeres y no puedo creer que tal persona existe. Claro que es un hombre sin sentimientos humanos. Me ocurre la palabra "inhuman" asi como dice Exx.

Pues sí, sería como llamarlo "perro sarnoso" , insulto muy usado por aquí. decididamente sería un insulto para los perros.

You may have confused "awesome" with "awful" ...

I am very thanked to all have answered me.The adjectives are very useful, and I will keep on reading some newspapers about the subject(?), so I probably am going to ask you something more.

Gooo idea, mara!! We will be here, don't hesitate to ask.

despicable, monstrous, horrendous, disgusting... Those are the words that first come to mind.
I agree with everyone else "awesome" is the opposite of what you want to say.
