A crude insult calling someone a mean, selfish, or unpleasant person.
A compound of 'ass' (the animal, or crude slang for buttocks) and 'hole.' This insult emerged in American slang in the 1930s, treating the word anatomically but as a pure insult rather than descriptive reference.
Insults reveal what a culture values—using a body part as an insult shows disrespect by reducing someone to something crude and bodily, a pattern found across languages, suggesting insults work by dehumanization!
