What's the best way to say "hater"?
Ok, so i've looked into it some, and I can't seem to find a word that means "hater". I'm not looking for phrases describing someone who hates, I just want a word that means "hater". Any ideas?

Hi DJ Huero. I am not sure if a similar slang expression is available in Spanish. It may simply be an anglicism which does not translate readily to Spanish. What I can tell you, based on this previous discussion ( Is "I don't like" a sign of hate? ) is that none of the hispanohablantes who responded to this thread seemed to be aware of this slang usage (for that matter, neither did many of the native English speakers either).
As near as I can tell it, the essence of the word hating (as used in this context) is in conveying a sense of jealousy by the person who is doing the "hating." I suppose that if you wanted to address somebody who is "hating on you" you might convey the same (or at least a very similar) sentiment by saying something like:
• Es que tienes celos/envidia
• Es que me envidias
• ¿Por qué sera que me envidias tanto?
• Si me criticas es sólo porque me envidias, si me envidias es sólo porque me admiras y si me admiras, es sólo porque quieres ser como Yo
• Sé que me envidias porque no soportas verme brillar.
Espero que te sirva, amigo.
The word "hater" is slang so the spanish translation is slang as well which would be "objeto", when said the meaning is worthless object. You meet someone who envies you because your on top, there a worthless object(hater)(objeto). Slang works in mysterious ways.
HI DJ, always a pleasure
No word like that in Spanish, you can only describe.
Este odia a todo el mundo.He is a hater.
