whom I know independently (name, rank, serial number): ?Xmyr' prishel kak
vsegda s opozdaniem. Unless this is his standard nickname.
What about "etot xmyr' prishel kak vsegda s opozdaniem"? Sounds OK to me.
Actually, it looks like _xmyr'_, as former _zhlob_ (vyxodili iz izby
zdorovennye zhloby), as the contemporary _perec_ and _krendel'_, are just
slang substitutes for "man", "person", "guy". With a bit of derogatory
connotation.
