Could someone please, please tell me exactly what an “asshat” is? It’s got to be one of the single most headscratchingly incomprehensible insult I’ve ever heard. I beeseech upon you, please unravel this mystery for me. I am at a total loss.
Did we really need a new word for that? If you can’t say “__ is an asshole” when Granny is in the room, would you be able to get by with asshat? I doubt it.
Asshat is an asshat. 
seat sombrero
cheek chapeau
derriere dicer

I actually first saw the term “asshat” used in the game Dark Age of Camelot. In inter-realm (PvP, basically) combat, when one is killed, one’s corpse topples to the ground. Sometime the killer or someone else from his/her realm would come and sit on your (dead) head…thus, asshat

I think asshat makes alot more sense than asshole as well.
I always thought it was derived from someone having his/her head up their ass, and picturing this, it would appear that they are thereby ‘wearing an asshat’. Acutally, more of an asshelmet or an assski-mask. I guess asshat just evolved because it sounded more natural.
I do kinda think asshelmet has a ring though…
