"More half-assed" is an idiomatic expression used colloquially to describe something that is poorly executed or done with minimal effort, resulting in a subpar or haphazard outcome. This phrase adds emphasis to the already negative connotation associated with "half-assed," emphasizing that the level of incompetence or laziness exceeds what is typically considered substandard.
The term "half-assed" originates from American slang, with "half" referring to something incomplete or inadequate, and "ass" used informally to represent effort or quality. When something is described as "more half-assed," it implies that the initial inadequate effort has been further diminished, intensifying the criticism or dissatisfaction.
Used in various contexts, "more half-assed" can describe any task, project, or performance where a lack of dedication, attention, or skill is evident. It portrays a lack of commitment or professionalism and suggests that a greater investment of effort or care is necessary for a satisfactory result.
For instance, if a person completes a job hastily and with little regard for quality, it can be described as "more half-assed." Similarly, a poorly organized event or a sloppily written article may be deemed "more half-assed" as well. This phrase is subjective and depends on an individual's expectations or standards. However, its usage generally implies a lack of effort, attention to detail, skill, or overall commitment, thereby emphasizing the overall inadequacy or failure of the task at hand.
