Usage notes
Ofttimes misanalyzed by the native speakers and thus confused with assholehood (“the state or condition of being an asshole”). The only dialects that seem to draw a clear distinction between assholehood (“the state or condition of being an asshole”) and assholedom (“the state or condition of an asshole”) are Northern English dialects which still maintain the "hood/dom" distinction.
