An adverb derived from "asshole," meaning in a manner that is rude, selfish, inconsiderate, or obnoxious. Typically used to describe behavior rather than a person directly — someone acts assholishly when they do something that demonstrates a flagrant disregard for others. The word is informal and vulgar, used in frustrated commentary about social behavior. The formation mirrors standard adverb constructions but applied to a profane root for expressive effect.
He cut in front of the entire line and looked assholishly pleased with himself about it.
No comments yet — say something.
An adverb describing behavior done in an assholish manner, meaning rudely, selfishly, or with contemptuous disregard for others. Derived from asshole via the adjective assholish. Used when someone wants to characterize not just what was done but the specific quality of callousness or arrogance behind it.
