What's the adverb for the word half-assed?
I thought it was
Half-assedly
but it seems like it might not be a real word...

1That would make sense when comparing to halfhearted / halfheartedly, but I'm not an expert.– flawrCommented Sep 17, 2016 at 22:52

2The adverb of half-assed is half-assed. The adverb is itself half-assed. They did it half-assed.– TimRCommented Sep 18, 2016 at 0:31

+1 @TRomano See link (but I've heard it also with the standard -ly too, and there is this.)– P. E. Dant Reinstate MonicaCommented Sep 18, 2016 at 1:22

Wouldn't expect P.E. Dant to be citing Urban Dictionary :)– TimRCommented Sep 18, 2016 at 11:42

As a native American English speaker I quite frequently say Half-assedly (Pronounced ass-ed-lee). While I'm not sure if it's in every dictionary it is certainly well understood.
