self-hater

An idiot with so great a self-esteem issue that he or she is bigoted against members of his or her own race, gender, national origin, religion, or culture.

What a self-hater! She's whiter than snow yet she not only thinks she's black, she has the unmitigated gall to tell me I'm the hater because I have a problem with those who won't accept themselves as they really are.

I'm tired of conservative women, self-haters who parade around telling us women shouldn't vote.

A woman who lives alone in a rough neighborhood ought to have a steel bodyguard if she can't trust the human variety.

mouse trap

A cat, kitty, puddy, etc., that meows, purrs, and can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

Boots, my mouse trap, caught two mice within two hours of my bringing him home.

Why buy that spring contraption that only squashes your fingers when you can get a real mouse trap--Kitty?

You: Sorry, but I switch hit, but only in baseball!
