Hyphens that go with "dumb"
You know how "dumb-ass" is hyphenated? Well, does it make sense, in certain cases, to hyphenate other words that come after "dumb?" For example:
"Nobody was asking you to do that, dumb-***!" he barked.
The stars there belong to the "SH-word" that refers to fecal matter.
"Nobody was asking you to do that, dumb-***!" he barked.
The stars there belong to the "SH-word" that refers to fecal matter.

Are you really serious about the questions you are asking? If this is the kind of English you are being taught, I suggest that you find a different teacher.

What teacher? It has nothing to do with being taught anything at all. It has to do with editing something of mine properly. Those are the words of a character yelling at and scolding another character in a crude comedy. I just want to know if that hyphen should be there as with "dumb-***."
