  • “Being born in 1995 is great because I am functionally a millennial and then when I see another millennial posting a dumbass take that amounts to dicksucking capitalism and going "Uhmm, 15 minutes early is the REAL on time" I can put on my fake sunglasses and pretend I am gen Z.”

  • “Just waiting like a dumbass for my Strontium Dog books to come in the mail. So close. So close.”

  • “Jay Caspian Kang has been a dumbass since I first read his crap on Grantland and he continues to get worse.”

The dumbass walked off with my car keys and left me hers.
Origin: From . It is likely that ¹ass (= donkey), not ²ass (= buttocks), was the original sense within this compound noun (solid compound or open compound), but neither sense is precluded, and many people today may uncritically parse the term in the latter way, even if it is misapprehensive. Apparent analogy with forms such as hard-ass and big-ass would naturally lend support to the second parsing. A similar synergy can be seen in the fact that the terms buttload and assload originated as literally meaning a cartload and the load transportable by a single donkey (respectively), but probably most En.
