Your definitions are incorrect. The definitive record of English vocabulary, The Oxford English Dictionary 2011, has no entry for 'asshole'. In order to use 'good' correctly when referring to one's health it would have to be used in context e.g. "I'm in good health", or "I feel good."
Without meaning to be pedantic I feel obliged to point out that you used the wrong spelling for 'too' in "You are being to narrow [...]"
I do apologize for using the wrong 'too'. However http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/11703?redirectedFrom=asshole#eid37382945 seems to disagree. And we will have to agree to disagree on 'good'
I tried your link but it didn't direct me to an entry, so I logged into the OED on-line & checked. It has no entry for 'asshole' only for 'arsehole', which is odd because I always thought of my arsehole as an exit:
OED on-line, definition for 'arsehole'
noun
British vulgar slang
1 the anus.
2 a stupid, irritating, or contemptible person: he's a total arsehole
leave me alone, you arseholes
As for 'good', we don't have to agree to disagree since it's definition is easily available.
This is what I linked " asshole n. (a) = arsehole n.; (b) someone or something foolish or contemptible; an uncompromising term of abuse; also attrib."
As for good "right; proper; fit: It is good that you are here. His credentials are good." The subject "His credentials" can be replace with the subject I, the verb then gets changed to match from are to am. making the sentence I am good.
"Could care less"
"Could / should / would OF"
but I do have one more that I have seen on TV recently.
I don't know if anybody on the planet actually says this other than terrible script writers and actors who have to say what they are paid to say, but people saying "He was good people." I'm sorry, what? How can one person be good people? ARGH! You mean he was a good person, or he was one of the good people. You can NOT say "He was good people."
It doesn't irritate me in the least, much like 'ma' is abbreviated for mama & 'pa' for papa (though there's a strong etymological argument that they are also abbreviated forms of mater & pater). 'Bro.' is also an accepted written abbreviation for some members of religious orders in the same way that 'Dr.' abbreviates doctor.
Personally, I don't like the term "bro". I always think of drunk ignorant frat boys. Even when friends call me "bro", I always think of drunk ignorant frat boys. I could probably add it to my list of phrases that make me cringe.
Isn't "Brah" and "bro" basically the same thing with differing degrees of intellect being the main difference? Or differing degrees of implied intellect. Because as ignorant as "bro" sounds "brah" sounds like you're not even trying to speak clearly. Or maybe they're referring to woman's underwear. In which case, they are perverts.
I don't know, I just think that anyone that regularly uses that term goes down about 20 points in IQ. I don't really care that much, but it does affect my opinion of the person using it. Generally, I'm pretty mellow, so anyone saying "cool story, bro" to me would just be disregarded.

The sentence is practically a political buzzword used to argue against removing restrictions. It makes little sense because not only are morals completely subjective and therefore one person's decline would be another improvement.

Oh, so it's actually a Hawaiian slang term? I did not know that. I always thought "brah" was just a drunken slurring of "bro" that became a popular way to pronounce it. Learn something new everyday, I guess.
"Where did you last see it?" If i knew that then it wouldnt be lost. Hate that.
Or
"Do as i say, not do as i do". As a child, if my mum had a snack before dinner, and i wanted one. Then pointed out that she is having a snack, she would say this. Yeah, that fair.

That's very strange, because when I type 'asshole' into the OED on-line it only comes up with a definition spelt 'arsehole'; It corrects the misspelling. I don't know if you'll be able to access this link http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/arsehole but when I replace '/arsehole' with '/asshole' it simply says "Page not found" here http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/assehole
As for 'good' it's an adjective which qualifies a noun, but the noun in this case isn't the person it's their health or general well-being. Take your example "'His credentials are good.' The subject 'His credentials' can be replace with the subject 'I'" That's not correct. It would be 'His credentials' changed to 'My credentials'. Regardless of the possessive determiner the subject 'credentials' remains & 'good' qualifies.
Of course, unless they're making a genuine claim to being particularly virtuous. Fortunately I know only one person who uses the phrase, the rest of my friends are adults & speak accordingly.
Not at all, I'm annoyed when people fail to communicate by using the wrong words. 'Bad' & 'good' are both adjectives, as such their purpose is to qualify. To say 'My bad' is as meaningless as saying 'Those heavy' or 'His red', because the possessive determiner ('His') is not the subject of the qualifying adjective.
I don't think it quite counts as a phrase when someone says LOL or El oh el in general conversation but it drives me nuts. It's fine on the net and in text form, I use it there all the time but in reality? no, fuck off with that shit.
"All that glitters is not gold."
The meaning of the phrase is that if something is glittering, it cannot be gold. Simple enough. But everyone uses it to mean that something glittering may not necessarily be gold. This is a really annoying logic failure.
Have you ever heard of Caribou Coffee? With enough creamer and sugar, it's probably one of my favorite brands, but I can't stand their motto:
"We love coffee too, that's why we proudly brew."
For some reason, one I simply can't find, that phrase makes me want to beat whoever wrote it over the head with a steel pipe. I'm not joking or exxagerating, that phrase seriously makes me want to hurt someone.

That would explain it. Mine's set to English. So tell me then, what do you say when you mean 'ass' as a small hoofed equine e.g. the Biblical reference 'The ass saw the angel'?
