Excuse my ignorance, but at which part of this otherwise nice story the guy's ass got kicked? It was an unexpected encounter with an important figure in computing that has been quite unknown to people, and it must've been fun, but at no point I got the impression that he got his ass kicked...
- joelrunyon 14y agoIt was metaphorical ass kicking. You start to reevaluate how difficult your challenges are when you start talking to someone who invented the first internally programmable computer.
- billswift 14y agoActually, the common slang you wanted was "a kick in the ass" or less vulgarly "a kick in the seat of the pants", as in this book's title, http://www.amazon.com/dp/0060155280 http://www.amazon.com/dp/0060155280 . An "ass kicking" is slang for a beating.
