A couple of weeks ago, while enjoying an evening bevy or two on a local patio, I heard a loud banging noise that seemed to be coming from the vicinity of three teenage boys. Closer examination revealed that they were violently attacking a Sun paper box. I extricated myself from my comfortable seat in order to quell this metal melee. I approached the main offender and said, "Hey ASSHAT, what the hell are you doing?" He said, "I’m mad at this paper box. We’re trying to check out movie times and this box stole my money." Although I considered their methodology somewhat overstated, I understood their frustration. Once I realized they weren’t just youthful vandals, some laughter and chat ensued. Before I left, the kid said, "By the way, what did you call me when you first came over?" I said, "I called you an ASSHAT." He said, "Cool. Where’d you get that word from?" I was going to say "Goober" but I just said, "the Internet" instead.
Keepin' it real,
Queenie.

"Asshat" is something I pilfered from www.fark.com however I am not sure where it truly originated.

Goober, I was disappointed to learn that you are unable to shed some light on true origins of the word. I was hoping that someone would be able to and thought you'd be the best chance. It is a term that has caught my attention on this board over the last couple of months because of its frequent and humourous use in the objective form i.e. "hey ASSHAT", or "%^?&$% is a total ASSHAT!". However, I have been unable to find any reference to a definition in any of the threads.

Like so many terms in use (over-use) in everyday parlance, few people truely know how to use a word, term or phrase properly and just bastardize it to suit their needs. Asshat seems like a word that, when used properly, would distinguish yourself from the masses.

So I ask again, (knowing what might come back)...what does it really mean???

(all words, terms and phrases in the above statements may or may not be used correctly and the author cannot and should not be chastized for miss-use as he slept his way through grammar class. Thank goodness for foniks!

From Goober's Link:

"Asshat is new! Asshat is hip! Asshat is now! We all strive to create a new word for a generation, and this is it, folks! Asshat is something that everyone can come together and celebrate!"

Too much......

:D

Also from Goober's Link:

"Disclaimer: I made all of this up. I did absolutely no research whatsoever to come up with this. If you have a problem with the way I wrote this, you are in fact an asshat. "

:D

Well there you have it. Book marked for future reference.

Thanks Goober. Easier than I thought. I can go back to work knowing that I have accomplished a major task today...determining the origins of asshat and how to use it properly.

But it's so early. Now what do I do for the rest of the day?


As they say..."Asshat is new! Asshat is hip! Asshat is now!"

Word!

It looks like I have started something with asking about the word asshat! I love it! I called the Dell support dude an fucking asshat today when he was too useless to help me sort out a clusterfuck on my laptop.

The king of bling bling uses assclown, which I think sounds better than asshat.

The first time I heard the term asshat was on "That 70's Show". The Dad, Red, would always threaten to make his son's ass, Eric, into a hat if he kept fucking up things. Then Eric said something to the effect of wearing his asshat around all the time to cut out the middle man.

That was several years ago that I had heard it.
