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.

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. Informal and vulgar but more precise than simply saying rudely or inconsiderately. The word presupposes the existence of assholish as an adjective, which itself is not standard but is widely understood from context.
He assholishly took the last parking spot after watching her wait for it for five full minutes.
