Bastard

A bastard is a person who was born of parents who are not married to each other. It is considered by some cultures and individuals as a nasty or insulting word or sometimes even profanity, with the term illegitimate being a little more polite. Some cultures see illegitimate children as dirty or bad and accept sexual relations only between married couples.
