Said of an individual so below one's contempt that they are judged by the beholder as underserving of a slur that might evoke the dignity of three-dimensions -- e.
g., "you piece of shit". Instead, it has been appraised that such an individual is best described in
two dimensions, by way of evoking the
spread of fecal material on some purpose designed or improvised substrate, directly from one's rectal orifice, with an
aim of transferring a maximum of said recently extruded fecal material to said substrate at completion of the act of defecation. The resulting fecal material-laden substrate provides an indicator of success in the mundane act wiping one's
bum, and is thus appropriately given the name "ass
swipe". This concept evolved linguistically to be used figuratively for derogatory and defaming effect on the intended
target of this label.
1. Observing his behavior over
time, I feel at a loss to fathom just how contemptible Joe is. What a piece of shit! No, that's way too generous. Joe's a fucking ass
swipe.
2. How do you feel now, ass
swipe, laying in your own blood after I kicked your face in?
3. That ass swipe didn't even have the balls to come up and tell me to my face!
