new euphemistic replacement

[Laurence Horn]

Probably nonce, but anyway...
oe Benigno of WFAN just referred to Cody Ross of the Florida Marlins
as "that j-ass".  I guess "jack-a" or "jack-you-know-what" (as in
"horse's you-know-what", a favorite of Benigno's ex-colleague Chris
"Mad Dog" Russo) don't work, but I'm not sure "j-ass" really does the
job either, whatever the job is.
