    Is there a functional distinction between “asshole” and “dickhead” that I’ve never been familiar with despite being a native English speaker?

      Thinking about it, I feel that a dickhead does dickhead things more randomly, but an asshole does asshole things for a reason, on purpose.

      Like a dickhead may fuck things up for everyone, whereas asshole fucks up things for other people.

      Just my thoughts.

        But sometimes, dicks fuck assholes too! (insert dick/asshole/pussy monologue from Team America)
