Asshat

The story is Kirstie Alley blasts Hollywood asshats for Trump blacklist. The story is all over the place, Breitbart for example, and I didn't bother to read it. Most likely about that Will and Grace thing.

Incidentally, the actress denies blacklisting anyone even though that's exactly what she did. Her original wording is careful, thoughtfully precise and impossible to misinterpret. Stated different ways twice. It takes a seriously inflated multi-millionaire actor-ego to miss that the role you are acting online is the character you blame others of being. Blacklisting, a thing that has harmed Hollywood in the past. Such othering.

I really don't care about the political opinions of actors and actresses. Their errors and their corrections. I just don't. But I'll tell you, the local actors I've met through friends who are actors themselves, are all delightful as H-E-Double fun sticks. They're smart and they're creative and talented, bright, positive, delightful to be around. They're the best of all parties because of their collective talent, singing and dancing at the drop of a hat. They know the words to more songs than every other group, and can sing them, and play the instruments. They're self-entertaining. Auto-entertaining. They are free entertainment, just being themselves. But don't bother asking them about politics because they're reliably bat poop crazy. Geopolitical grasp just isn't their forte.

But what does asshat even mean?

I'm trying to picture this. How does being a hat on your butt come to mean your opinions and actions are unworthy?

Duckduckgo images tab [asshat] I looked this up before. I'm seeing the same things all over again.

Prominent is the famous picture of a fully dressed contortionist with his his head up his butt. That's wrong. Because that's "head up your butt" not "you on top of your butt" as a hat.

None of these can be right. They must be trying to figure it out too, or else they're visual puns.

No.

No to everything.

Here's what I think it means.

Your head, where all your thoughts and opinions come from, is only good for it being positioned on top of your butt. Nevermind your torso and your arms, those don't count. You are primarily a walking and talking ass, that's where your opinions come from, and your head serves your ass as a hat.

It's the same thing as saying you're talking out of your butt. Your speech is all hot air. Your talk is just stinking farts. Conversely, you fart out of your mouth.

Finally.

No, wait, wait, wait. I got this. 

I totally got this.

Everything that you are, all of your value as human, is nothing more than a hat for your butt.

Literally, she's saying, "look at my butt" while she is also saying, "this is all there is to me, nothing more" or, "this is my best ... ahem ... asset." 

Such a pretty little hat that your butt has.

ASL asshat. Literal English to sign, it doesn't depict the meaning. It's useless.

YouTube [asshat] several amusing colloquial swears that make more sense visually than asshat does in English and even less so in sign. As you know, sign can be imaginatively crude.
