hole
The heart is an image that, historically, has been used to represent a woman’s rear end (from behind and bent over, think about it), so in place of the the words arse and arsehole I will be using or hole.
Arseholes are nothing more than people with holes in their hearts who suffer from broken ways of loving so, to me, the terms arsehole and hearthole are interchangeable. I feel this early use of the heart symbol is a perfect representation of the broken ways of loving often employed by holes which focus on shallow aspects of life and people over anything of real substance.

Profound.
And is that really the origin of the symbol? Wow.
The heart itself has many different historical connotations, but the symbol seems to have been largely associated with romantic love and sexuality across different cultures throughout history (and apparently it goes way beyond representing an arse!).
That’s kind of hilarious that it’s both a romantic AND sexual symbol. Think of how the two are often confused in our society.
Too true, and it makes me want to design Valentine’s day cards using the heart in all new ways!
