Why does nobody use the word "arse" any more?

[Swisskit]

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

Actually lol'd!

Arse is alive and well in this house.

I think ass is the preserve of the want-to-be Americans in our society.

There is indeed something extremely evocative, and communicative about
expressions like
"can't be arsed" and "talking shite".
😂

I’m up north and arse is very much still in usage.

I think ass is the preserve of the want-to-be Americans in our society.

And some of us are just bilingual.

Love Arse and Tit, everyone’s a Massive Tit or Arsehole to me at the mo, especially when I’m driving.

Also ‘Oh My Days’ WTAF ‘Oh my God’ is perfectly fine, we don’t need your bloody Days

I say it all the time. Possibly too much as yesterday my 6 year old also used it

I said it only yesterday when describing my ex. Its a great word.

I can’t take ‘ass’ seriously. I just think of a cheesy American ‘dude’ talking about a ‘fine piece of ass’ or ‘kicking some ass’.

Arse, though, now that’s a proper word.

My husband says ass - very annoying

In my family, a fall is 'going arse over tit' and in polite company, we say 'going base over apex'.

Arse here! Would never, ever say ass.

Butt annoys me more. Primary school children are saying it! What happened to bum?

Norn Iron here use it daily. Prefer ballacks to bollocks though. Sounds better in my accent.

@IVEgotthetinselBITCHES I corrected ds1(9) yesterday when he said 'pain in the ass!'

'Arse. Its pain in the arse' said I

I still use 'arse'. 'Ass' is acceptable only if you're a Yank, otherwise it means a donkey.

In any case, 'ass' in a Yank accent, just doesn't have the same forceful, satisfying ring to it.

You can shove your ass right up your arse!

GBroGal, my long-gone DF used to say, 'arse over breakfast time,' which I always thought had a piquant ring to it.

Ass is acceptable in this form:

"I'm going to get Christmassy on yo ass" (in Samuel L Jackson accent)

Otherwise it's ARSE. Pain in the arse, kick up the arse, can't be arsed all used in this house. Also the very satisfying swearword arsepiece!

Oh, ARSEPIECE!!!

I like "arse over breakfast time".

My nan used to say your arse is parsley i.e. You're talking shite.

Oooh, yes, Cat

"I'm gonna get medieval on your ass" is definitely an honourable exception. "Arse" in that phrase wouldn't have quite the right ring. No pun intended.

I’m the same. But tits arse and bollocks is my most used 😉😅

I love a good “oh arse”. It’s the perfect phrase to use out loud when you lock yourself out of your computer at work because you have 30 different passwords. Fucking cunt-buckets is not acceptable language in my office but a solid well delivered arse is fine.

I loooove ‘arse’. It’s so versatile. I can’t be arsed. He’s a massive arse. I went arse over tit. What an arsehole. Oh god, look at the size of my arse. Etc, etc.
