I don’t think much of Wood’s opening speech:

「いいか、 **野郎** ども」  
.

Yeah, in my (UK) English version, he says “men”. Jisho has “chap, guy, buddy” as the primary meaning, so I consulted Google-sensei to see if the more derogatory meaning is more common in Japanese - the answer appears to be “yes”.

Though, fun fact: in the Edo period, it originally referred to young men with a hairstyle like this:

Specifically, the fact that the top of the head is shaved. The female equivalent is 女郎めろう (though my IME utterly refuses to give me those kanji, instead just coughing up “mellow” in romaji with various different spacings and cases).

More seriously, though, it feels more like tw\*t then b#stard. (not sure who I’m censoring this for 😛 )

Something that you’d call a group of _guys_; sports team banter- squad-mentality. Offensive on its own, but with the right intonation it becomes anything from endearing to comrade’y.

Oof. Lee Jordan commentating the Quiddich match fills a solid page of text in my book.
