I added the necessary tags to this page including the vandalism tag, also there should be some more historical information added to give a deeper and more verifiable account to help backup all the original research presented and there needs to be some verifiable evidence. A list of sources would be a good start.
There also needs to be a deeper discussion about the whole topic including semantics. If there is an expert on the subject who can comment it would be greatly appreciated!

Since the article says that the standard is arsehole and the exception is asshole, shouldn't the article title be changed? 159.196.31.126 (talk) 11:37, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article appears to have been started in American English which appears to use "asshole". So, it probably should retain the existing English variant. See wp:ENGVAR re policy. The article does have an interesting originAdakiko (talk) 11:46, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
