asshat
So, you know, I don't swear much. I don't yell much. I don't fight much.
I'm a pretty quiet, non-confrontational girl most of the time. It takes a lot to get me in a tizzy.
Wait, let me clarify. It takes absolutely nothing to get me in a mental tizzy. I am in a mental tizzy pretty much constantly. But a real live genuine tizzy, where I might get all fresh or mouthy with someone doesn't happen too often at all. Realistically, maybe once a year or so. And that's being generous.
Let me clarify one more time. I can get fresh and mouthy with my husband more than once a year. Because sometimes it is necessary for me to spew my thoughts and feelings on things that he does that bug me so I don't hate his guts. And sometimes, that involves me being fresh and mouthy. I think that is healthy. To spew. Occasionally. Sorry hon.
I am so controlled in public though.
But I am waiting for the perfect opportunity to call someone an asshat.
Well. I know it's pretty rude. And I know I mentioned that I'm not really a name caller. Or a (public) swearer. But you have to admit, asshat is a great thing to call someone who is really being an ass(hat).
Don't you think?
I mean, I wonder who made it up. (urbandictionary.com?) Who had the insight to put those two words that don't really go together, together? And why do I find it so funny?
I'm 98.6% positive that it would make me feel better if I had to pull it out of my pocket and use it on someone.
I'll let you know if it happens.

I was thinking that the first place I ever saw it was in one of Jen Lancaster's books. I am much calmer in public now, but I used to just let deserving people have it! Now I just look at them like they're stupid and I might even roll my eyes. What can I say? I just can't keep my big mouth shut!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I agree. I also use Dumbass sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI swear probably more than I should. I can't help it.
ReplyDeleteThe first (and only time until this blog post) time I heard the word asshat was on Loralee's Looneytunes blog. Here's the link: http://loraleeslooneytunes.com/
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I'm not cool enough to figure out when to use it properly in a sentence.
