    Default Use of the term 'asshat'

    Hey everyone,

    I spotted this on digg.com tonight. I'm not pointing it out for the political nature of it, but rather as an example that Paige is influencing society. I had thought that the use of the word 'asshat' was almost exclusively on this board, but now...

    http://www.theinformationparadox.com...s-mccains.html

    It currently has nearly 1400 diggs which means that thousands of people are seeing it as I type.

    The next question is when will it enter the dictionary? Could we all mobilise to make that happen???

    I heard it used on the Radio From Hell show (a morning talk show on an alternative rock station) the other day.

    It was around WAY before Paige.

    Because I'm a literal guy, I'm not quite sure what it literally means, but it conveys the sense of things. I like it.
    It figuratively means someone whose head is so far up his own ass that he practically wears his own ass as a hat..."asshat"

    I heard that term at least 10 years ago.
