jackarse

English

Etymology

Blend of jackass and arse. Apparently the result of a false etymology equating -ass in the sense of "donkey" with North American English ass (in the sense of "buttocks", "anus") and also, therefore, arse.

Noun

jackarse (plural jackarses)

  1. (UK, Ireland, Commonwealth) Misconstruction of jackass (in the limited sense of) foolish or obnoxious person.
