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?

Not unless I'm one too! I started giggling as soon as I saw the photo. How long did it take Buddy and his missus to work out one of them needed to turn round? I hope someone got a video.

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)

It's a Midland thing. And we were invaded less so we're right.

I am laughing my arse off at this thread.
OP in Scotland we would say “Hoddit and Doddit” - wouldn’t need to be husband and wife- just 2 people doing something daft. (Try that in a Scottish accent with glottal stops instead of “t”)
Also my Dad had a saying of someone that they could start a fight in an empty room! Love that you unintentionally did this 😂. Beautiful view!

@thinkingaboutLangCleg it was about ten minutes, when she turned around, I clapped.
Not sure if she heard or not.

I tried to video, but the video is shit because my phone doesn't like to zoom.oh well, gave me a good chuckle!

East Midlands here (Derbyshire) and we say mum and bath and grass as in ass, but we definitely say arse.... an ass is a donkey or fool

They kept going for 10 minutes? Seafog, they deserve a medal. I now have a vision of the little boat gently turning round and round and round, to the tune of The Blue Danube...

YABU for saying an ass hole instead of arse hole

You do realise not every British accent has long vowels, right? I say ‘ass’, not ‘arse’ because I have a Midlands accent.

But do you type ass or arse?

StrawBeretMoose · 29/03/2021 22:56

All the arguing over ass and arse! They're two different words and I use them both.

My mum doesn't like swearing so as teenagers and beyond we used to say 'a hole' to pretend not to offend her and then the sibling would ask for clarification as to whether it was asshole or arsehole and then tell poor mum she would have only had to hear one of those words if she weren't so precious.
We don't say dick in front of her, that's just too much. Just d head Grin

What a cracking view op.
