"up one's ass" meaning?
I come across this phrase from the very same game as the one I mention in my last post.
Here is the context:
It's just that we haven't heard any news yet. Remember that time they posted here to announce an attack?
LOL yeah, and I remember the Cyber Crime unit up the admin's ass.

My guess is that it means "insult, offend or attack someone". Am I correct? Please let me know.
Thank you.

Answer

I think this is a phrase that is used in multiple ways.  I agree with Damien's definition.  But I've also used it/heard it used as a semi-insult.

For example, I've used it as a way of saying that someone is way too nosy or won't leave someone alone, which is similar to Damien's definition.  And I've also used it as another way to say that someone is a brown-noser or suck-up.

Answer

Very much a slang, colloquial term. It's not really an insult.  In this context, it means "giving them a difficult time" or something like "giving them lots of scrutiny / making sure they were doing things correctly / checking for errors".
