PROPER WAY TO CALL SOMEONE A BASTARD:

A guy was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome.
They were even after the first few holes. The second guy said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a hole?" The first guy said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed to the terms.
The second guy won the remaining sixteen holes with ease.
As they were walking off number eighteen, the second guy was busy counting his $80.00. He confessed that he was the pro at a neighboring course and liked to pick on suckers. The first fellow revealed that he was the Parish Priest.
The pro was flustered and apologetic, offering to return the money. The Priest said, "You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you. You keep your winnings."
The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"
The Priest said, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation...... And, if you want to bring your mother and father along, I'll marry them."

I am sorry. I wasn't aware 'Swabbie' was a pejorative. While I wouldn't want to be called one, I don't consider it to be that bad a 'sobriquet'.

Just in case there may be some confusion with our Swabbie or others here I thought this may help.

swabbie |ˈswäbē| (also swabby)
noun ( pl. -bies) Nautical slang
a member of the navy, typically one who is of low rank.


Sobriquet
A sobriquet (/ˈsoʊbrᵻkeɪ/ soh-bri-kay) is a nickname, sometimes assumed, but often given by another. Distinct from a pseudonym that is assumed as a disguise, it more resembles a nickname and usually is a familiar name, familiar enough such that it may be used in place of a real name without the need of explanation. This salient characteristic is of sufficient familiarity that the sobriquet may become more familiar than the original name.

Glad I could be of assistance but I thought you mentioned to Poppa you were only monitoring here today. Oh and depending on how you look at it this could have been a positive response in your direction but I guess not huh.
