Let’s Call Them Grotesques

I’ve never before seen a breed of humans so self-obsessed, so blind to the damage they wreak, so contemptuous of the anger and misery they have forced on ordinary people.
Grotesque, when used as a noun, means an invented figure, which is as ugly as its subject.
It hasn’t been in common usage for centuries but it’s time for a re-launch simply because it describes certain ugly figures to perfection.
Let’s not call these casino bankers Fat Cats or Masters of the Universe.
Let’s call them Grotesques.
It works for me.
