	The Mavens' Word of the Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This explains the single-s spelling of asinine and the ending, though it's a good question--when I first encountered the word I thought it was "ass o'nine," was stumped by a new word for a multi-stranded whip meaning 'foolish'.
		Since asinine avoids the association with ass 'buttocks', it is less offensive than ass itself, and asinine is not vulgar at all.
		The other reasons that asinine is less offensive than ass are that the former is Latinate, and thus seems more respectable; and that describing any particular decision, action, etc. by an adjective is less offensive than referring to the person who made that decision with its equivalent noun.

		Webster’s 10 defines “asinine” as “marked by inexcusable failure to exercise intelligence” and “of, relating to, or resembling an ass.” That is part of what the book means by “asinine.” Yes, there are incredibly senseless poems and stupid poems and bathroom-humor poems.
		However, for the most part, “asinine” is an umbrella term that includes the silly, the bizarre, the saucy, the clever, the cranky, and the funny.
		Asinine Love Poetry does not shy away from the pratfall and the belly laugh, the fetish reference and the dirty joke, the darkest fl humor or the most obvious one-liner.
