My neighbor (30M) takes in food and issues vocal sounds for a living. He’s also lying at the upper end of the alimentary canal, bounded on the outside by the lips and inside by the pharynx and containing in higher vertebrates the tongue and teeth. Our landlord has given him the nickname “mouth” because “cavum oris is too hard to remember”. Very well, not my circus, not my monkeys, right?

However, I (30M) am the opening at the opposite end of the digestive tract. I control the expulsion of feces, the residual semi-solid waste that remains after food digestion, which includes: matter which our landlord cannot digest, such as bones; food material after the nutrients have been extracted, for example cellulose or lignin; ingested matter which would be toxic if it remained in the digestive tract; and dead or excess gut bacteria and other endosymbionts.

Our landlord (30M) has violated classic anatomical terminology and instead of using my Latin name, he calls me the Americanized slang version “asshole”. I believe that given his track record of disrespecting our Latin names he may be xenophobic, and thus in turn he should be the one considered an AH. He argues that it doesn’t fit the definition, so I (calmly) told him that

# asshole /ˈashəʊl/

*noun* VULGAR SLANG•NORTH AMERICAN
1. anus

2. a stupid, irritating, or contemptible person.

So Reddit, tell me, am I really the asshole?
