たれ suffix examples

We’ve all probably heard the words ばかたれ or くそたれ/くそったれ。Jisho says たれ is used with a noun as a suffix like we use -ass or -head in English. Another site says it can be used with na-adjectives as well.

For example:
ばか → ばかたれ
dumb → dumbass, dumbhead

While it says it can be used with nouns and na-adjectives it doesn’t seem to be common outside of a few words. でぶたれ isn’t a thing. So, does anyone have or has seen a list of what words take たれ as a suffix in this way?

ばかたれ
あほたれ
くそたれ
しみったれ
へたれ
あまったれ
あくたれ
はなたれ

Seem to be the only one’s.

This jisho.org search is a good start - Just ignore the obvious false positives like 背もたれ or 後ろもたれ.
