Pronunciation: p&-'ri-s&-"dak-t&l
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin Perissodactyla, from Greek perissos excessive, odd in number + daktylos finger, toe
Date: 1849
: any of an order (Perissodactyla) of nonruminant ungulate mammals (as a horse, a tapir, or a rhinoceros) that usually have an odd number of toes, molar teeth with transverse ridges on the grinding surface, and the posterior premolars resembling true molars
- perissodactyl adjective

One of my favorite things to say is calling people "JACKASS" like in Happy Gilmore.  Good Times.

I like the hyphenated word "ass-clown".  I also have been known to use the descriptive "ass-monkey."
