Note
Nothing irregular here: the plural adds -s, and the possessive is written assholes'. It most often labels a group of people who behave badly, and it keeps the singular's full force, vulgar and offensive in US usage; jerks is the safer word for polite company. The same spelling once also named an ash pit under a fire grate, a use now obsolete.
