Poll: This thread was not half-assed

[dfcrackhead]

Everyone knows the term half-assed, but what is it's counterpart. If you did something completely would you have full-assed it or no-assed it?

On one hand, full-assed would sound like instead of doing something halfway you did it fully, but now whatever you've done has a full ass and who wants ass in their school projects?

On the other hand if you no-ass something, you got out of it, ass-free, but now it sounds like you didn't do anything despite having saved it from ass-ination.

So, when you do something and don't half ass it, would you say you full-assed or no-assed it?

I always assumed that it was your lack of work that let the ass-ness get in.

 

[TeeBs]

Its one of those, do you see the ass as half full or do you see a ass as half empty sorta things.

Careful, this is rather gruesome:

 

[dfcrackhead]

Which do you see it as?

Both conjure disturbing images.

No assed. The "ass" part implies suck. If you do something well, you have a lack of suck, which means a lack of ass. No ass it is for me.

Strangely enough, the poll is showing more people like to fully-ass things.

Any idea why?

I've always subscribed to the "Full-ass" as being good, disturbing though it may be.

That way, you can also "Quarter-ass" something if you put even less work into it.

Besides... who would want only half an ass? Or no ass? That would throw off your balance when you try to walk. Therefore, full-ass is preferable.

By that logic half-assed means that it only half sucks, so by that logic couldn't we also say that it half sucks because of the lack of a full ass? Thus meaning that full-assed would be the correct counterpart due to the fact that it is complete and therefore can't suck.

Even then, the meaning of the phrase has nothing to do with halves of things. It just means that it sucks. Full assed, to me, sounds like more suck. Also to me, the opposite of suck is not suck. So the opposite of any amount of ass is some form of less ass.

Full-assed is way more fun to say.

The phrase actually has nothing to do with sucking either just so you know, according to yourdictionary.com it means: Not well Planned or executed; or incompetent. So therefore by that definition it has nothing to do with sucking, so therefore logically to do something full-assed would mean that it was planned well or executed or competent.

Well I would rather people put the effort to involve their entire ass in any of the endeavors. But maybe it's a personal preference.

Careful, this is rather gruesome:

I swear the video pauses when his face looks like a Panda...

Anyway, there is no counter-part to it! I think...

I think I'd find it equally satisfying if they put forth the effort to make something and keep their ass out of it.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

negative half assed

That is the true answer *sage nod*

Ass is like distance, there is no negative.

Yes, but if they're going to work, the ass is going to come it at some point in time. It's only a matter of waiting. If it's going to be there at all, you might as well not be half assed about it.

I think most bosses would be quite happy to see that only half your ass made it into that slideshow instead of the whole thing, at least then you can cover it up and say it was an accident.

That doesn't make sense to me. It could go either way, according to whoever's logic is being used. I think that the "ass" portion could just as easily mean "incompetent", meaning that no ass = not incompetent, and full ass = more incompetent than half ass.
