Talk:talk out one's ass

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

The first-person simple present case here, currently presented as "talks out one's ass" is incorrect. I see it's generated here as a result of transclusion of a standard en-verb template, so it's not directly editable. The template seems to think this is a transitive rather than a reflexive verb, or else there's some other type of miss in how it's handling this phrase. Apart from the presumably very rare case of anal ventriloquism, no one is typically considered to ever be talking out (of) someone else's ass, nor out (of) some kind of generic first-person ass distinct from their own personal one. Thus the first person simple present for this should really be "talks out [his|her|their] ass". Essentially the words "of" and "own" are implied though elided in typical usage.
