knob-shiner Noun. A contemptible person.
Got to love the word ‘contemptible’.

Also found this:
These two nouns, along with knob-head, knobber, and knob-shiner, can also refer to someone who is an idiot or is otherwise unpleasant in some way. (Isn’t it funny how the slang terms we use for the penis are also the derogatory words we call stupid people that we don’t like? You’d think a militant, man-hating feminist had come up with all these words.)
