Morphology
assholey + attitude
The phrase is transparently built from 'asshole' (a crude noun meaning a rude or unpleasant person) plus the productive adjectival suffix -y to form 'assholey' (= 'having qualities of an asshole'), combined with 'attitude' to mean a rude or offensive manner. Although slangy and informal, the derivational pattern is regular and a learner who knows the constituents can readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Assholey attitude comes from the insult asshole, meaning a very rude person, combined with attitude, so it shows someone acting like a mean, not caring person. That's why assholey attitude means 'rude or unpleasant behavior'.
