Am I an ass hole?

Buddy and his Missus are in the boat, but facing each other.
They've been going round in circles for ten minutes.
Am I an ass hole for laughing?

I think you wanted to show off your view. I'm very jealous. Anyway, back to arse. I have never heard anyone in the UK say ass. Its arse. End of Wink

@sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea

'Ass hole' sounds like a trap for an unwary donkey.
Speaking of traps - how do you catch a polar bear? Cut a hole in the ice, sprinkle peas around it and wait. When a bear passes by and stops for a pea, you kick it in the ice hole.

Just to weigh in on the ass/arse debate. West Midlands here and always been arse. And mom.

Well, here we have a whoie new fresh hell, thank you MN. We got the rules that we must say 'America (Canada - NOT UK COUNTRY) here when posting about houses, police matters, schools etc. But now we must identify when we post a random picture of a boat?

ImpassiveVoice · 29/03/2021 21:53

A very posh way of saying ass hole

2018SoFarSoGreat · 29/03/2021 21:54

WHOLE. not whoie.

HereIfYouNeedMe · 29/03/2021 21:55

@Seafog

The occupants of the boat need to be facing the same way, but instead they face each other, and so paddle in circles.

I could shout out to them for one to turn around in their seat, but I'd rather just watch and laugh....
Hence, am I an ass hole?

I got your post and it made me laugh, just watch 😂

I always said Mum but wrote Mom because that's how I was taught to spell it. Once I slipped up and wrote Mum and my sister called me out.

I am envious of your view also. But it looks cold. We near froze to death in Vancouver last night with a huge windstorm and temperature down to zero. Frost on the rooftops.

I love how OP is narrating the scene/ explaining the joke one sentence at a time while everyone else is too busy arguing about arses to care Grin

SignMyStookie · 29/03/2021 21:56

I AM CANADIAN!

Sorry couldn't help myself 😳

Seafog · 29/03/2021 21:57

@HandyBendySandy exactly like that!
As in, Buddy came through the traffic light so fast, he nearly took off my hood. When you talk about someone specific, but you don't actually know who they are .

@LoveFall wicked cool! We are on Christie Point!

OP

As you've given me a good laugh, perhaps i can return the favour

I was away in holiday with my sister, who went to an aqua fit class while I was on a walk.

When I asked her how it was, she said "well I got a lot of exercise, but we had to use noodles and people kept laughing at me because I was drifting in circles while they stayed on the spot" 😂😂😂

LoveFall · 29/03/2021 22:01

My Dad and Grandpa built a house further up Shoreline Drive. It is across from the high school which was just bushes. Christie Point was pretty much bushes too.

I went to Craigflower Elementary for grade one and two, then we moved away.

Sparklingbrook · 29/03/2021 22:01

Sounds like it’s all a bit lost in translation. I was genuinely confused by Buddy and his Missus and why you would be yelling at strangers in a boat.
But they seem to have got it sorted by themselves...

Fraggle40 · 29/03/2021 22:02

This is one annoying thread sorry OP.. you meant well but its been hijacked Flowers

So im a Londoner and say ass cos i like it more..and i can! I think its a nicer word.. kinda softer but its plainly American!

Scbchl · 29/03/2021 22:02

Id of laughed also!

Greenrubber · 29/03/2021 22:04

No your not they are idiots

EveLe · 29/03/2021 22:04

Am I the only one more confused by Mom? I had no idea Mom was used in England!

I always thought it was Mum in England or Mam if you were up North.

(I'm in Wales and everyone I know says is Mam)

Seafog · 29/03/2021 22:06

@SignMyStookie one of the funniest, accidentally, threads ever

@AcornAutumn that is funny, and would likely be me too!

@LoveFall I probably walk past it every day, what a small world

Well that took a turn Hmm

You have me a laugh op, ignore the miserable ones

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 29/03/2021 22:08

Who the fuck is Buddy?🧐

Vilanelle · 29/03/2021 22:10

This thread is an absolute classic example of how posters totally miss the point and focus on something else other than the actual question. Hilarious

DrSbaitso · 29/03/2021 22:10

Are they in the Suez Canal?

SleepingStandingUp · 29/03/2021 22:13

West Midlands.
I have a Mom.
DH has an arse.
I have a bottom.
