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

Americanisms >

I prefer Mom to Mum.

And the word arse reminds me of posh people trying to be rude.

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.

Why does it matter if it's American though, lots of Americanisms are in common usage in this country

I say neither.

When I was a kid I used to say Bumnal instead of Arsenal, because I thought it was swearing.

Seriously though..There's not really any words for the 'behind' that are very nice really

Normally just call it the backside or behind
