idiom sentence in UK My UK clients always say"paint an ass"(I am not sure it is spelled correctly). I can guess he means that"shit" or "fuck off" or some other words to describe he is not pappy with something.

Hi Wang, This phrase is "pain in the ass" and it means "annoying person" or "annoying thing". For example Mr Smith is a pain in the ass - Mr Smith is annoying (maybe he asks too many difficult questions). OR this homework is a pain in the ass - meaning this homework is annoying, I don't want to do it I have got other stuff to do. Hope this explanation is useful.
