Ha! Thanks Gaia for teaching me a new word :)Momzer:
[a. late L. mamzer, a Heb. word (mamzer) adopted by the Vulgate in Deut. xxiii. 2 (where it appears with the gloss ‘id est de scorto natus’), and hence frequently used in the Middle Ages.]- A bastard. Also in extended uses as a term of abuse or familiarity.(OED)
