Carhartt Asshole (noun)
A specific breed of menace.
Someone who wears Carhartt like it’s a
personality trait and uses it as a license to be loud, rude,
emotionally unavailable, and mildly intimidating for no reason.
Usually believes being “real” = being an asshole. Think: work boots indoors, zero inside voice, and the vibe of someone who tailgates you in traffic and calls it character building.
Common traits:
Swears they’re “just blunt”
Treats kindness like a scam
Has beef with
customer service workers unprovoked
Thinks empathy is soft
Either actually works hard or cosplays blue-collar toughness
