[Mommy, Mommy -- Richard won't play fair! Make him stop, Mommy!]
ass (às) noun
plural asses (às´îz)
1. Any of several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, resembling and
closely related to the horses but having a smaller build and longer ears, and
including the domesticated donkey.
2. A vain, self-important, silly, or aggressively stupid person.
[Middle English asse, from Old English assa, perhaps of Celtic origin,
ultimately from Latin asinus.]

Looks like Middle English to me -- and I didn't call you anything, Mike. But
if you like to think of yourself as an "elite have" and an ass, feel free to
do so.
And I have seen this word used here before without rebuke from Todd.
-- Richard
