Wha's Ass Fresco Mean???

What does it mean??? Well, you decide. Here are some examples which will make it very clear indeed.
  1. You have a voice lesson at 6:00 in Apt. 4B on the 4th fl. You’ve been ringing the 4B bell and actually getting into the building and up to the fourth floor several times and knocking on 4B to no avail. After 45 minutes of this, you leave & head all the way back to Bensonhurst (ouch!) and are in a foul mood. You find a message on your phone from the teacher. She’s concerned about you but makes sure to indicate that her 24 hr policy requires her to charge you for the hour (THAT YOU DIDN’T GET). You call her back. She says that she asked Pablo to put a note on the bells downstairs to let you know to go to 2A instead. HOI DA?? Did she never think to come down during the 45 minutes you were trying to find her??? ASS FRESCO!!!
  2. It’s Saturday. You’re in the actual process of moving out of your ridiculous Bensonhurst apt and to a more sensible place (Astoria). You asked Verizon to leave your landline operational until Monday (just to be sure you’re covered). You’re picking up the last dredges of crap and bringing it over to Astoria. You don’t own a cell (you DON’T WANT ONE). You pick up your landline handset at 3am Sunday and find no dial tone. Thanks, Verizon!!! ASS FRESCO!!! You walk to the subway station and call a cab from their disgusting and dirty phone. You explain what the situation is and that you have no phone service at the pickup spot and are calling from the subway station and own no cell. The cab dispatcher tells you to call him back when you get back to the apartment. ASS FRESCO!!!
  3. I’m responsible for processing the pro bono submissions. We have a noon deadline on Tuesdays. You receive a submission from a “very senior” associate at 4:30. I explain that he has missed the noon deadline and that it will have to be submitted the following week. He asks, “What is the purpose of a schedule?” I respond, “If you want to catch the 2:00 train, but you show up at 3:00, will you be on that 2:00 train?” ASS FRESCO!!!
  4. Bottom line definition: ridiculous, incompetent, silly, absurd. And, believe me, you will find many, many instances for this phrase.
  5. My son, Trevor, created this phrase many years ago. I believe my friend from Spain is now using it in Spain. It’s catching on like wild fire.
