Gives new meaning to the phrase.

The phrase “head up the ass” (or more vulgarly, “head up one’s ass”) is an informal and crude expression used to describe someone who is:

• Extremely oblivious, clueless, or unaware of what’s happening around them.
• Stubbornly ignorant or unwilling to see the truth.
• Acting foolishly or irrationally, often due to arrogance or self-absorption.

Example Usage:

• “He has no idea what’s going on—he’s got his head up his ass.”
• “Stop being so clueless! Do you have your head up your ass or something?”

Similar Expressions:

• “Head in the clouds” (less offensive, means daydreaming)
• “Living under a rock” (unaware of common knowledge)
• “Clueless” or “out of touch”

The phrase is considered vulgar and insulting, so it’s best used in informal or confrontational settings.

The phrase “to have someone else’s head up one’s ass” is a more exaggerated and colorful variation of the original expression (“head up one’s ass”). It suggests an extreme level of control, manipulation, or blind obedience—where one person is so dominated by another that it’s as if the other person’s mind has replaced their own.

Possible Meanings:

1. Being Completely Controlled or Influenced
   • The person is acting as a puppet, blindly following someone else’s ideas or orders without independent thought.
   • Example: “The CEO doesn’t make his own decisions—he’s got the board’s head up his ass.”
2. Extreme Sycophancy (Excessive Obedience/Flattery)
   • The person is a “yes-man” or bootlicker, mindlessly parroting another person’s views.
   • Example: “She just agrees with everything the boss says—it’s like she’s got his head up her ass.”
3. Being Manipulated or Brainwashed
   • Implies that someone else’s ideas have taken over their judgment.
   • Example (political context): “That politician doesn’t think for himself—he’s got his lobbyists’ heads up his ass.”

Tone & Usage:

• Highly vulgar and insulting—more intense than just calling someone clueless.
• Often used in frustrated, mocking, or hyperbolic criticism (e.g., in workplaces, politics, or personal conflicts).

Similar Expressions:

• “Under someone’s thumb” (controlled by them)
• “Brainwashed” or “a puppet”
• “Licking someone’s boots” (blind obedience)
