Definition Of "Red Ass"?


Hey,
Anyone got a good definition of "Red Ass"? I'm trying to diagnosis myself. My Dr. didn't know what it was today when I asked.

Re: Definition Of "Red Ass"?


If someone accused you of being or having a 'red ass', they are telling you that you have a temper or you are difficult to get along with. While that might be true, I have noticed that you have have standards which you refuse to lower or compromise. I applaud you for that. I'd work along side you any day. Best of luck to you.

I was thinking one could reasonably have a red ass in response to certain situations. As a rule, I am easygoing.

Yep, everyone has different situations that really push their buttons. Is 'red ass' something you were accused of, or something you heard once that you think might apply to you? Sometimes, if a person says you have a red ass on a jobsite, they can be saying that you're 'dragging ass'. This could mean that they think you're dragging the job out, unnecessarily. It depends on the context. Are you particularly slow?

md, I could have really done without the last def.

The phrase is not in common use here.

Has Bob, GlassHouseBuilder been visiting you. If he has, that explains everything... You've been getting spanked (causing the red ass) and have been asked numerous times over and over: "Who's your daddy"???

I'm not a Doctor but would recomend not having Bob over for beers anymore !!! Just kidding around Bob!!!

Years ago when I was still going to poolroom people were said to have the redass if they were losing a lot and getting mad/frustrated/ ill tempered, etc
