Don't think I've ever seriously said 'ass'. Only if I'm putting on an American accent or something.

Arse. Unless you're American, an 'Ass' is a kind of donkey, surely.

I pronounce it 'Arse' when I speak
I was watching Jeremy Kyle USA the other day, and Jeremy said 'ass' (I think he said 'Get off your ass and do something') But anyway it was so cringeworthy >_<

Actually, "Ass" is the Americanised version of Arse so it's not Posh, you're just American :nono:
ARSE
Though not a word in polite use, "arse", like many old words describing body parts and functions, originates in Indo-european. the IE word was *orsos which produced words meaning "bottom" or "tail" in most Germanic languages. The US "ass" is a euphemistic spelling of "arse" which reflects the general US pronunciation.
The bird the "wheatear" has nothing to do with wheat or ears but comes from "white arse" after its white tail feathers.

Still sounds posh and stupid though :idc:

Yes we should adopt most American words really, except Mom
Mystic Mock
04-04-2012, 04:41 PM
I prefer Mom to Mum.
And the word arse reminds me of posh people trying to be rude.
King Gizzard
04-04-2012, 04:42 PM
Well you would..mom's still used in the midlands lol

Sadly Mum is creeping in.

Neither but i'd use arse since i'm not american
Neither as both are not at all polite really are they, unless you're referring to a donkey
Samuel.
04-04-2012, 05:15 PM
I don't get the weird patriotism to our way of pronouncing/spelling things.
As long as it's clear what you're saying, I don't see how it matters.

Write it ass but say it arse

04-04-2012, 05:24 PM
I type ass
Pronounce arse
Benjamin
05-04-2012, 12:42 AM
I can't believe so many use ass. It's American.
Why does it matter if it's American though, lots of Americanisms are in common usage in this country :shrug:

When I was a kid I used to say Bumnal instead of Arsenal, because I thought it was swearing.
King Gizzard
05-04-2012, 02:13 AM
Seriously though..There's not really any words for the 'behind' that are very nice really
Normally just call it the backside or behind

Both.
Arse is particularly good for describing idiotic people.
Ass is in good for when the Law gets it so wrong - and of course: when someone's derriere is in fine condition.
