lard-assed positive

Morphology

lard-assed = lard + ass (transparent) = lard + ass + ed

The adjective is clearly formed by the jocular compound 'lard' + 'ass' with adjectival '-ed' meaning 'having the quality of', so meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Lard-assed comes from lard ('pig fat') and ass (a rude word for 'butt' or a foolish person). A helpful way to remember it is to picture someone with 'lard' on their 'ass', so the word describes a person who seems very overweight or lazy and is an informal, rude term.
