Danish term or phrase: røvpuler
Do not proceed if you do not want to see some offensive language.

This term is used in the source as the Danish translation of "Arschficker", one of several German invectives employed in a certain notorious photographic display at an exhibition. I need to know the best way to express this in U.K. English for the context. Since there may be some reluctance to step forward, I'll list the ones I have under consideration: arse fucker, butt fucker, bum fucker. If you're sensitive about linking your name publicly with any of these, you can send me a private message with your answer and I will keep it confidential.
