I've lived in Pennsylvania all my life and I use it quite frequently. Hmmmm, come to think of it I'm not sure what that says about my neighbors. ;p They way you are planning to use it is perfect.
Out west, I don't think "bastard" is used as a direct epithet that much. Someone might say, "Oh, he's a real bastard," but if talking to someone, I'd expect someone to say, "You're a real asshole," or "you son of a bitch."
Depending on how pottymouth you want to be, "motherfucker" is probably the #1 of favorites, though. ;-) So it really depends on context.
If it's strictly CW verse, though, see my first paragraph - though maybe "asshole" won't apply? I'm no help ... *G*
Well, then I'd say if you're using real-world (as opposed to CW) language, if he's refering to someone who hurt Sam, he'd probably say "motherfucker." That's what most of the working class guys I know would say. ;-)
Aww, thank you! I've been stalled on this one for ages. For some reason my brain decided to write three longer fics, they all stalled and I was too stubborn to write other stuff until I finished at least one of them. *facepalm*
I think I'm going to stick to short fics again from now on. But there is only one more scene left and I should hopefully have a complete rough draft of this one.
If I ever post it, there is going to be celebratory drabbles. :P

For context: He couldn’t believe he’d turned his back on the bastard without making sure he was dead.
Thank you, though. I do have a tendency to chuck British words into these things and someone always points them out and yeah... :P

Course Hugh might be slipping those British terms in out of home sickness. :P

I use "sonofabitch" as an expression of pain a little further down the page, so I was hoping to avoid using that one again so soon. :P
Mother fucker might work too though.
Thank you!
