Pissant is an epithet for an inconsequential, irrelevant, or worthless person, especially one who is irritating or contemptible out of proportion to his or her significance. A Virginia politician who also popularized the term once silenced a heckler by saying "I'm a big dog on a big hunt and I don't have time for a piss-ant on a melon stalk." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pissant)

для pissanter предлагаю "ничтожество"

для rimbamboo предлагаю "пустозвон"
