A clever term invented by myself and a friend during an extremely uninteresting French lesson at our bleak little school (Granville Community School in the heart of Woodville). It is the phonetic equivilent of arsehole, but is someone with 1) A big fat cock up their arse, 2) A lampost or something of equal size up their arsehole.
