arsehole

arsehole
I. n
British
1.
the anus. Asshole in American English.
2.
the arsehole of the universe / earth / world an extremely unpleasant place, especially one that is dirty, smelly and hot, but now by extension anywhere awful. The phrase was probably coined by troops stationed overseas, prompted by such captions as 'the pearl of the Ori-ent' or 'the gateway to the Pacific'.
3.
an extremely unpleasant person, espe-cially one who combines offensiveness with stupidity. The term, when used in Britain or Australia, is stronger than the
American equivalent asshole, and slightly different in emphasis. It shows real dis-taste and dislike rather than mild con-tempt.
II. vb
1.
British
to 'crawl', flatter or curry favour in a nauseating way.
Typically used at work about a fellow employee, this is probably inspired by the now dated expressions 'arsehole-crawler' or 'arse-hole-creep'.
► There he goes, arseholing again. It makes me sick.
2.
Australian
to throw someone out, to get rid of (an unwanted lover). The word is often used plaintively or resentfully by jilted teenagers.
► I can't understand it. Robyn arseholed me last night.
