	Comments:	Although Japanese dictionaries will typically describe -め as expressing scorn or disdain when it's used as in sense (1), the fact is that it's usually used after a pejorative/demeaning noun, so in that sense it can be interpreted more as an "intensifying" suffix (to an expression of contempt), and hence, I've added the edit in the first meaning.
