:''This article is about the word "Asshole". For the card game sometimes known as "Asshole", see [[President (game)]].'' |
|||
'''Asshole''' or '''arsehole''' (outside the U.S.) is a term referring to the [[anus]]. It is generally used as a [[profanity]] in expressing deep contempt for someone or to describe a particularly abrasive person. |
|||
This word is found in colloquial speech in a number of [[culture|cultures]] (in both [[English language|English]] and in direct [[translation]] to other [[language|languages]]). This is due to the fact that it describes an [[organ (anatomy)|organ]] of [[defecation|elimination]] that is considered a [[taboo]] region (belonging to the [[intimate parts]]) of the body in many [[society|societies]]. |
|||
The English word ''ass'' (meaning [[donkey]], derived from the same root as its zoological name ''Equus '''asinus''''') may also be used as a term of contempt, referring to a silly or stupid person. In recent years, the words ''arse'' and ''ass'' have become [[synonym|synonymous]] in the United States, however in the rest of the world, ''ass'' still only refers to the donkey, rather than the ''arse'' ([[buttock]]s). It is worth noting that some varieties of English drop the letter "r", leading to practically identical pronunciations of ''ass'' and ''arse''. |
|||
Until the early [[1990s]], the word was considered one of a number of taboo words that could not be uttered on commercial television in the [[United States]]. Comedian [[Andrew Dice Clay]] caused major controversy when he uttered the word during a televised awards show in the [[1980s]]. By [[1994]], however, the word had become less a taboo, and was often featured in dialogue on the long-running television series ''[[NYPD Blue]]''; it has yet to become anything close to commonplace on network TV, however. It is important to note that while the word ass has found a place on broadcast television, asshole is not used, probably due to its more vulgar connotation. |
|||
In [[1993]], actor [[Denis Leary]] enjoyed some success with a comedic song called "Asshole" which opened his stage play ''[[No Cure For Cancer]]'' and was featured in a [[music video]]. The British ska-punk band [[Snuff (band)|Snuff]] also have a song named ''Arsehole''. |
|||
In [[2004]], the website Filmstripinternational.com created a popular internet [[filmstrip]] about the Bush administration using the song "Asshole" by the band [[Jim's Big Ego]]. |
|||
The scientific term [[black hole]] proved problematic, because its literal translation into [[Russian language|Russian]] turned out to be the Russian equivalent of "asshole". |
|||
== Asshat == |
|||
'''Asshat''' is a slightly more trendy and less severe variation of ''asshole'', graphically describing someone who has his "head up his ass" (i.e., not knowing what's going on), or a variation of "[[butthead]]." In the former sense, it is suggested that one is "wearing one's ass for a hat", or alternately, "a hat for one's ass." A more modern usage of asshat describes a person doing something stupid, and can apply to anyone: "the boss is up to asshattery because he broke the computer even though he knew he was doing the wrong thing." |
|||
The word is popular in many online communities, serving as a more palatable version of its antecedent. According to [[Google]]'s Usenet statistics, the word only saw a token appearance every day or two starting in [[July]], [[1999]], but following a slow rise in [[2002]], it entered popular usage in [[May]], [[2003]]. The pejorative was popularized by [[Something Awful]]'s [[Jeff K.]] and later spread to online community [[Fark.com]] and various [[Internet Relay Chat]] communities. |
|||
December 20, 2002 saw a graphical representation of an asshat in the online comic [http://usrbinw00t.keenspace.com/d/20021220.html /usr/bin/w00t], whereafter it was used frequently to represent customers who annoyed the technical support personnel. |
|||
More recently, asshat has entered the mainstream vernacular. On March 17, 2005, on [[The O.C.]], "asshat" was uttered on network television for the first time, although this could be disputed as it was said by a litigant in the closing of a 2004 Judge Mathis episode. |
|||
The insult "Assclown" is used in a similar fashion, although it is not as common. |
