Thank you,

We need the context to tell. And are you sure it isn't "not a whole person"?

Dear CP,

It's used to describe a person as a non-a-hole type. I found it on a blog, but couldn't figure out what it meant. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the sentence anymore.

I did a google search and this link came up: [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3G2PUQ455XMXJ?ie=UTF8[/url]

It has something to do with machines. and I have also found "non-a-hole car".

Probably it's a new term that someone coined recently.

Thank you,

Nawee
