Taxonomy of Assholitry - a work in progress
Douchebag
The douchebag is thoroughly and mistakenly convinced of his own importance / talent / brilliance / general level of attractiveness and is adamant that everyone else be as well. His assumed superiority is exercised upon anyone he feels could benefit from his counsel and influence (that’d be about 98% of the general population), and to the remaining 2% from whom he feels he could benefit, he’s grossly, pathetically ass-kissy or overfamiliar. Doesn’t help much, though ‘cause they think he’s a douchebag, too. But lucky him - he’s blissfully unaware.
Prick
The prick has something you want - money, hiring power, workplace authority, a deciding vote, the key to the freight elevator, the approval of your rescue dog adoption application. He wants you to know it, and he wants you to grovel to get it. This person takes pleasure in tormenting those who want what he has to offer, and he’s not shy about degrading that person, making him or her jump through hoops, sweat, wait or suffer - just because he CAN. Some social or economic structure combined with your desire allows him to get away with it, and he loves nothing more than watching you squirm.
Coming soon, Assholes, Dicks, Wankers and Tools
