"pain in the ass, annoying person"

Someone who bothers, annoys, or inconveniences you — literally, someone who beshits you. The feminine form is 'emmerdeuse.' It's specific in its complaint: this isn't someone evil or stupid, just someone who makes your life difficult. Your neighbor who complains about noise. A bureaucrat who demands extra paperwork.

'Quel emmerdeur, ce type' — what a pain in the ass, that guy. 'Arrête de m'emmerder' — stop bothering me.
