  RASCATL. An opprobrious term, applied to persons of bad character. The law 
  does not presume that a damage has arisen because the defendant has been 
  called a rascal, and therefore no general damages can be recovered for it; 
  if the party has received special damages in consequence of being so called, 
  be can recover a recompense to indemnify him for his loss.
