That is a good question - and the answer might help explain where the hell I picked the phrase, because I sure do use Asshat a lot.

That and asslick, buttass and the ever faithful asshole.

am I a moron? I've never heard of asshat.

I do like "son of a biscuit eater" - makes me feel all Southern...kinda the way I feel when I say "kiss my grits"

It has been moved to the Ledge Board forum... And I think you made an excellent point in your post in there.

some clever schmoe wrote this:

1. ass-hat

One whose head is so far up their rear end it could pass for a hat; used to describe a person who is stubborn, cruel, or otherwise unpleasant to be around.

good old Wiki:

Asshat is a slightly trendier and less severe variation of asshole, graphically describing someone who has his "head up his own 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." This meaning was popularized by Something Awful character Jeff K.

The word is popular in many online communities,(yep! thats where I first saw it, right here on the Ledge ) 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.

As it continued to grow in popularity, asshat began to be used by online gamers, in first person shooter and massive multiplayer role playing games. It was a commonplace word on servers where vulgar language was not allowed.

Gee, folks...Finally catching up to my lingo

Personally I prefer f**ktard over asshat, But asshat is approp when I feel like kicking someone's ass so bad that their ass will land on their head, thus the asshat for the assclump numbnutted assclown who PO's me in the first place

I'd heard the f-tard one before, but you were the first person I'd heard use "religitard" I know you spell it different, but is there a 'right' way???
