I beg to differ with the translation and this what always bothered me with these types of cards/books/whatever...
They always do literal translations and are totally oblivious (or ignorant?) of the actual use of the word.
What I mean by that is that when in English you'll say that this guy is an asshole, in French you won't say that he's a "trouduc" (short for trou du cul btw) but a "connard"...
"Trouduc" is not that common and is more of an equivalent of "jerk"...
