(Australian, slang) An extremely unpleasant or objectionable person.

yep - i bet he was acting like a complete `rex hunt' before he got smashed.
Origin: Rhyming slang for cunt, from the name of Australian television and radio personality Rex Hunt. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
For parents

Rex Hunt means: An extremely unpleasant or objectionable person.. It is mainly Australian English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

Rex Hunt means: An extremely unpleasant or objectionable person.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Cluster: intensifier

Why is this section here?

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
