"It's great to be an asshole, but you don't want to be a total asshole. There's a balance that must be struck. Assholes who are total assholes suffer too much backlash for their nature and are generally considered insufferable by all. Thus, you must learn to follow proper asshole decorum and fall under the Goldilocks Zone of Acceptable Asshold'em. You have accomplished this when people say things about you like 'he's funny, but he's an asshole', or 'I like Dave, but he's kind of an asshole.' That's the Goldilocks zone. You want people to compliment you, or express fondness for you, but then immediately feel the need to point out that you're an asshole."

Get the Goldilocks Zone of Acceptable Asshold'em mug.

asshold

A particular breed of asshole in which non-communication is its primary means of humiliation in females. They are known for being extremely good liars and holding up facades for months to even years; however they back out when they are scared with no care for the repercussions to the female...

That guy who told me he wanted me to move in him hasn't talked to me in 2 weeks... What an asshold!!
