Origin of Asshat?

sachmo71 · 05-15-2003, 12:12 PM

Look at the last box on the timeline:

http://www.thelemon.net/issues/timeline.php

Could this be the actual origin of the word "asshat"? Or has CamEdwards been plagiarized?

bbor · 05-15-2003, 12:15 PM

Cam is the original Asshat

sachmo71 · 05-15-2003, 12:17 PM

I agree. Can we sue The Lemon?

bbor · 05-15-2003, 12:21 PM

All you can get from Lemons is...uhh...lemonaide

Dear God Cam, I hope you copyrighted the term. You're Rich!

bbor · 05-15-2003, 12:25 PM

Perhaps Cam invented the internet?

Marmel · 05-15-2003, 12:28 PM

No offense to Cam, but I doubt he invented it. I have seen the term thrown around on other forums for a while as well.

Do people actually make money registering all these domain names?

Ksyrup · 05-15-2003, 01:09 PM

This guy's using it, it looks like.

GrantDawg · 05-15-2003, 01:14 PM

I don't think Cam ever admitted inventing the word, but he did introduce it to the board.

Simms · 05-15-2003, 01:17 PM

Fark.com has used the term for quite some time if I'm not mistaken.

moriarty · 05-15-2003, 01:59 PM

It's even in the Urban dictionary (although I prefer the second definition):

Scrappy Doo is indeed an asshat. He ruins every cartoon he's in.

JeeberD · 05-15-2003, 02:18 PM

Scrappy Doo rocked. He would have kicked all those monster's asses if the rest of the gamg had only let him...

bbor · 05-15-2003, 02:22 PM

Ya..that damn Gamg...HAd to get ya back eh

I think this is the asshat.

From http://www.wisc.edu/uw-oisp/publicat...e/ec082002.htm

Quote:

Douglas Wittner has joined the Division of International Studies as an information processing and technology specialist. Mr. Wittner worked previously for Sonic Foundry as a technical support specialist and as a quality assurance engineer. He has a B.S. in mass communication and brings to the division years of customer service, technical support, and special project experience in all forms of information technology.

He is no longer listed on the staff page on the Division's webpage or the new Madison phonebooks we just got. Perhaps the Asshat has moved on to browner pastures.

MrBug708 · 05-15-2003, 02:41 PM

I heard it on KROQ out here last year....

sachmo71 · 05-15-2003, 03:07 PM

And here I thought I was Indiana Jones, discovering the origins of a legend. Instead, I find I could have gotten one down the street at CVS for $2.99...

CamEdwards · 05-15-2003, 04:40 PM

yep, I didn't invent asshat. I just appropriated it from Fark. I thought I had made that known when I first said it here.

Now sexburp... that one I can claim as my own (but not sexBELCH, sadly enough)
