So fed up with seeing "ass" everywhere instead.

Arse is a bloody brilliant word! I'm going to start a campaign to keep it alive #arse

I still say it. Every time I see "ass" I change it in my head to "arse". Arse arse arse arse.

Swishyswash · 29/11/2019 21:54

It is one of my particular favourites. I use it whenever possible!

Northernsoullover · 29/11/2019 21:54

I always say arse.

Flumperama · 29/11/2019 21:54

I used it all the time. 'DH don't be such an arse', etc.

Disfordarkchocolate · 29/11/2019 21:54

I say it all the time. Ass makes me think of donkeys.

FeckTheMagicDragon · 29/11/2019 21:54

I say arse. Actually I say ‘arse biscuits’

Flumperama · 29/11/2019 21:55

use not used!

haverhill · 29/11/2019 21:55

I do frequently.

HappyHammy · 29/11/2019 21:55

I love it. I have a fat wobbly arse! Arsehole is even better.

EleanorLavish · 29/11/2019 21:57

If it was good enough for Father Jack....
You can stick ass up your arse.

PreseaCombatir · 29/11/2019 21:57

I was listening to that ‘my dad wrote a porno’ podcast, and everytime they said ‘ass’ in their southern accents it was so jarring!
I like arse.
I also say ass like arse anyway. On purpose

IfWishesWereFishes · 29/11/2019 21:58

I use it!

My pet hate just now is when people say something like 'I'm a grown-ass woman'

WTAF is that supposed to even mean? No need for the word ass to be in there, it adds nothing and just makes people sound a bit thick.

MarkingTimeIm59 · 29/11/2019 21:58

Yep. Used the phrase in relation to stbxh earlier today. Very accurate actually.

egontoste · 29/11/2019 21:59

"Arse wiggling" reminds me of The Full Monty Grin

Rockbird · 29/11/2019 22:01

Plenty of arses in this household. The word is far from obsolete here! No donkeys allowed.

ApacheTomcat · 29/11/2019 22:03

Arseholes
Arsewipes
Arsebiscuits

Or even just plain old arse.

ScreamingValenta · 29/11/2019 22:04

Perhaps they can't be arsed?

calamityjam · 29/11/2019 22:06

KnightandDay · 29/11/2019 22:06

Feck, Arse, Girls!

rslsys · 29/11/2019 22:09

Campaign for real Arse?

tobee · 29/11/2019 22:09

You'd have to be a silly arse not to!Grin

Blibbyblobby · 29/11/2019 22:10

Arsewank is my favourite expletive

BlueEyedFloozy · 29/11/2019 22:11

Arse is possibly one of my most used words. Along with shite.

I like arse and shite 💩

MadamShazam · 29/11/2019 22:11
