Leave it to you to find other acronyms that fit SB; it's always been Southern Belle. (and you can't blame me for the missing letter this time, it was AYHJA!!! LOL)

No problem. They're all used to it by now. It's just a novelty that it wasn't me!

Oh man Ty...You're getting old
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Such a naive girl†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™¢¢¬…¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¦
Asshat is a slightly more trendy and less severe variation of asshole, graphically describing someone who has his "head up his ass" (i.e., not knowing what's going on), or a variation of "butthead". In the former sense, it is suggested that one is wearing one's ass for a hat, or alternately, a hat for one's ass. A more modern usage of asshat describes a person doing something stupid, and can apply to anyone: "The boss is up to asshattery because he broke the computer even though he knew he was doing the wrong thing." This meaning was popularized by Something Awful character Jeff K.
The word is popular in many online communities, serving as a more palatable version of its antecedent. According to Google's Usenet statistics, the word only saw a token appearance every day or two starting in July, 1999, but following a slow rise in 2002, it entered popular usage in May, 2003.
As it continued to grow in popularity, asshat began to be used by online gamers, in such games as Battlefield 1942. It was a commonplace word on servers where vulgar language was not allowed. This peaked in August, 2004.
The insult "assclown" is used in a similar fashion, although it is not as common. "Assclown" has become well known among fans of the WWE due to wrestler Chris Jericho using it during his promos, especially his "Highlight Reel"; the term was also famously used in the film Office Space.
For our purposes.... it might look like one of these (a few of my favorite asshats) LOL

Undoubtably, I could have figured that out, if I had only looked at the clues for a little longer...
