Is the word "jerk" used synonymous to "stupid" or "asshole"? Or somewhere in between? Or a combination of both? I want to know how you use it, not the dictionary meaning (I found both connotations in dictionary). How offensive is it considered compared to those two words?
You can be a jerk without being stupid. In fact, jerks tend to be people of some intelligence. Jerk and asshole are synonymous terms in my book.
