zhlub n (also schlub or shlub or shlubbo or zhlob or zshlub)  A coarse 
person; a boorish man; = JERK, SLOB:  the presence of fine wines and the 
absence of shlubs--Philadelphia/ replied Angela as she glided off to cut 
the poor schlub out of her will--Newsweek/ Lieberman was the worst. 
Lieberman was a real zshlub--Joseph Heller [fr Yiddish fr Slavic, "coarse 
fellow"]
