"worm, lowlife, scum"

Calling someone a worm — the lowest creature, something that lives in dirt and eats the dead. It implies someone is spineless, contemptible, and beneath notice. Less aggressive than 'carogna' but more dismissive — a worm isn't even worth the energy of hatred.

'Sei un verme!' — you're a worm! 'Quel verme mi ha tradito' — that worm betrayed me. Applied to backstabbers and cowards.
