I loved it! Made me a “happy ass”!
I started thinking how true it is. Whether you are a parent or nonparent, single or married, a high school student or grown “ass” adult you are most likely at this moment thinking about or doing one of the above, probably a few at the same time.
How many times have you written in a text or IM “LMAO”?
I enjoy the word ass. I really do. If said at the right time to a student it gets the point across quickly.
Sit yo ass down!
Bet you just thought about it for a second…
I think it’s comical how one word can encompass a vast array of meanings and emotions. Ass can be funny, hurtful, or downright rude. I hope I have not offended anyone with the word, but even that begs the question, why should it offend? It’s a word, a word describing either an animal or an anatomical location. Now, if I told you you ARE an ass then maybe a little offense is warranted.
Then again, maybe not…
One of my favorite things to call people is AssFace. I think it sounds funnier than butthead. No one gets super upset when you call them a butthead and there was even a cartoon character with the name that made it past the FCC. So why should AssFace bother someone? If I am going to spend the time calling you a name then I am probably not all that angry and will go for the laugh every time. And AssFace is in fact funnier to hear. Period.
I have grown a little in the last year and don’t use the word as much when I’m at work. Instead I say rear or hindend. Neither rolls off the tongue and mostly get quizzical looks from my students. “Why don’t you just say ‘ass’ Ms. Andrews? We don’t mind.”
Point of fact they probably don’t. No need to push that button any more than I already have though…
So to end this blurb I will tell you I will continue to work my ass off (figuratively and literally) laugh my ass off, kick ass (and take names), haul ass, and well….
