Hit me with your best ideas! What do I call my asshat ex in my contacts?

Just that really. What do you call your ex in your contacts?
I’ve not got a great relationship with him (understatement). 5 years since we split and there are many threads documenting my experiences if you want to search.
But, long story short, he’s a dick. Definitely a narcissist, probably a psychopath.
I used to have him in my contacts as “DCs dad” but it stuck in my craw because my own dad is gone and my ex isn’t fit to own the title. I changed it lately to Asshat. Much more suitable but, unfortunately, I didn’t notice that the last email I sent him was addressed as such Grin and, funnily enough, he wasn’t happy.
Now I’ve recovered from laughing my ass off, I’m struggling to come up with the perfect alternative.
I’d love to hear your suggestions.

My Scottish friend always refers to her ex as “ the auld swine.”

Ex Mr CuntyMcCuntface

Use his full name. That's pretty much person non grata!

Shorthairlady · 22/04/2021 17:01

If I hadn't blocked mine I'd call him Jon Snow because he knows nothing. Grin

Onan - onanism is a term for masturbation, so he's a wanker.

@Bancha

Surely if your kids are likely to see it you should just use his name?
Hmm

The Little Man, better still, Tiny Man.

He’s just under his name because I can’t be bothered to waste any unnecessary energy on him.

And this.

My ex had me saved in his phone as "the bitch". DC were so upset when they found out. :( Our family support worker was not impressed either!

SelkieIntegrated · 22/04/2021 17:32

The respondent.
My x refered to me as The applicant while talking about maintenance.
I think it's so deliberately dehumanising it's nearly funny.

DiamondBright · 22/04/2021 17:33

Twat, however, I can't imagine he'll ever contact me again, my DC is a teenager so can deal with him directly.

MrsGulDukat · 22/04/2021 17:37

If your kids might see it, put him down as "Him" or "It."

MrsGulDukat · 22/04/2021 17:38

or Dodge Bullet.

I'm pretty sure my daughter would laugh a as she has him saved as something equally rude, but then she is nearly 18.

Just in the fairness of politeness.

My Ex is referred to as the Twat. But then, he aint saved on my phone because DD is 14 and I dont need to speak to him.

TigsytheTiger · 22/04/2021 17:41

Mine has been Cockwomble for the last 9 years in my phone, never hear from him now but still hugely satisfying to see if I'm scrolling for a number!
