1854, Charles Dickens, Household Words, vol. 8, p. 66:Next you have a group of stinkards, vermin whom I hold in abomination. . . . There have been cases proved of persons being killed in their beds by the odour of stinkards; and it is sufficient for one of these creatures merely to pass through a granary, a fruit-room, or a cellar, to render every provision in them uneatable.
(figuratively, rare, archaic) A person whose behavior is hurtful and unsavory; a stinker.
1748, Tobias Smollett, The Adventures of Roderick Random, ch. 34:He asked with great emotion, if I thought him a monster and a stinkard!

2007, Amy Biancolli, "‘Heartbreak’ anti-hero goes too far," Times Union (Albany, NY), 5 Oct. (retrieved 2 Sept. 2009):"The Heartbreak Kid," by contrast, is a mean piece of work with an unsympathetic, lying stinkard of an anti-hero.
