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.
