A mildly vulgar American insult for someone who is annoying, foolish, and generally hard to be around — a more colorful variant of 'dipstick' or 'nitwit.' The '-wad' suffix (as in 'dingbat' constructions) implies someone whose stupidity or obnoxiousness is almost physically present, like something you'd have to peel off your shoe. It's the kind of word a frustrated older sibling or a short-tempered coach might deploy — harsh enough to sting but not quite a full nuclear option.
Don't be such a dipwad about it — just admit you got the directions wrong and we'll figure it out.
