He's an asshole

No, this isn't about the Denis Leary song, although it is a favorite of mine. Just had one of those little moments of coincidence that I enjoy so much. I'm currently reading Ascent of the A-Word by Geofrrey Nunberg. A great book thus far describing the history of the word asshole. As I'm reading another chapeter about how common place the word has become and how it is used to describe certain people, mainly assholes, I hear screaming from my next door neighbor. Nothing troubling, just someone very angry. The volume level and thin walls allow me to catch "He's a fucking asshole! An asshole!"

Perfect. Brought a smile to my face. It's the little things that do it for me.
