"useless person / good-for-nothing"

A wonderfully absurd insult: an ass with a handle — implying someone is not just an ass, but one that's portable and can be carried around, yet still completely useless. It's the kind of insult that makes you pause and think about the imagery before you get offended.

A grandmother about a lazy grandchild: 'Жопа с ручкой, ничего не делает' (Good-for-nothing, does nothing). Said with more exasperation than real anger.
