390: -ass Jan 2, 2016

Slang often can become something of its own system. '-ass' as a suffix can be used in slang terms for two main purposes grammatically. The trend began with the suffix used with depreciatory reference, such as 'smart-ass' or 'lame-ass', but later was used as an intensifier, such as in the phrases, 'bomb-ass' 'crazy-ass'.
