Mr. Silly Posted January 24, 2020 Share #9 Posted January 24, 2020 24 minutes ago, Wilbur said: Is ass when used in "humourless ass-hole"? Well, "hole" is at noun and "ass" describes the noun so "ass" would be an adjective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she met my parents and told them she had some problems with Freddy not doing his homework, they just assumed she was talking about the wrong kid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
