Rebutthead
Created by: Tigger
Pronunciation: /ri-BUHT-hed/
Sentence: Lyle was such a rebutthead that he started an argument with the mugger who was trying to rob him, telling him that he wasn't holding the gun correctly.

Lyle is finally out of Intensive Care and recuperating nicely, although he's driving the doctors and nurses crazy.
Etymology: Rebut - to refute by evidence or argument (from Old French, rebuter "to thrust back") + Butthead - a stupid or inept person (slang: buttheads often "butt heads" with other people, but the 'anal' connotation is clear. Also, Beavis' buddy)
