An impolite negative response

Hi,

If I say "It's just an accident!" and someone replies "Accident by a s s h o l e!", does that mean that the speaker responds in an impoite manner or is it used between very close friends. My question is if the underlined part is right.(I saw it in a movie's subtitle).

I just want to grasb the correct usage of this colloquial expression, so please give me another example, if you have..

Thanks!!!

This expression is a vulgar expression of anger and a refusal to believe that what happened was an accident.
