Is jackass a swear word

Answer 1

It is because it, in today's time, is a kind of crude word. One it involves the "A Word" in it and two, it is a kind of slightly curt word that people used to call donkeys and well basically if you were a donkey you wouldn't want people to call you that. so basically I personally wouldn't use that word around my grandparents if I were you, especially of your'e like a kid, you know 18yrs. and younger.

Answer 2

Jackass isn't consider a swear words(really depends how you use it) Jackass is another word of meaning donkey.for example in the show tom and jerry. When tom was singing ain't you ain't my baby, he throw a stick so spike would have to kill tom, but bout time when spike got to the wood he stop and imagined him self as a donkey, and on the side it said JACKASS in bold print.

Answer 3

It depends in what context it is said in.

Jack means Stealing, so if you were to jack something it would be to steal/nick something.

But jack also means in more modern slang like a swear word. It's not a bad word, just not one of the best.
