> Please look at the following 3 sentences: > You've got a cute ass. > Your a smart ass. > Your an ass hole. > It is possible that all 3 may appear on this list, but the question is, are any > appropriate? Lets examine. > The first sentence is making a quasi-sexual reference to a part of a person that > is not considered 'public'. Some may take it as a compliment, but usually > someone would take offence to it. As such, please be very sure on how and who > you use this with. Not only this, but all permutations of it. Personally, if > someone said I had a cute ass, I'd refer them to my wife as she likes to know > that others admire what is essentially her property. :) > The second sentence is a reference to how someone presents themselves and is > usually said as a compliment. There are very few who would take offence to it > and a little care should be taken in who its said to. In my review of the list > and the times its been used, I'd have to say that everyone who's ever been > called a smart ass was asking for it and took it as a compliment. My comment > above makes me a smart ass. :) > The third sentence is an attack, plain and simple. It is the failure on > someone's part to communicate their argument in a clear and concise format. When > used, there is almost no chance it will be taken as a compliment or positively > at all, even with a smiley face. > When using any of the above three sentences or any derivatives of them, please > pay attention to WHY your using them and if they are appropriate.
