Yeah, ass sounds much better.


I thing "Shake that arse" sounds much better.
I agree to the rest.

cuetzpalin 09.29.2006 03:30 AM

ass is the best

fishmonkey 09.29.2006 03:42 AM

arse, to be sure.

porkmarras 09.29.2006 03:43 AM

Arse but i like ass too.

sonicl 09.29.2006 03:52 AM

I can't choose. Sometimes a quick under the breath "asshole!" is good, sometimes a long drawn out "arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrse hoooooooooooooooooooole!" works better.

Norma J 09.29.2006 04:02 AM

It's not a matter of cool spelling or pronounciation like 'sk8ter' or some shit, it's how certain countries spell the actual word. In Australia if you were to spell it 'ass' in an english test, you'd be incorrect.

Obvious? I hope so.

CHOUT 09.29.2006 04:05 AM

fuckin' ass n' shit.

Tokolosh 09.29.2006 04:08 AM

ass

Style 09.29.2006 04:13 AM

there is no r in ass.

wax 09.29.2006 04:20 AM

ARSE!
of course

raging_nelly 09.29.2006 05:19 AM

My vote tipped the poll!

Arse all the way!

Glice 09.29.2006 07:16 AM

Definitely arse. Except if you're talking about gettin' some, in which case it's ass. But far and away the most correct use is arse.

h8kurdt 09.29.2006 08:30 AM

I say ass when using it in the "Shes got a pert ass" but I use arse when saying arsehole. So now you know.

Savage Clone 09.29.2006 08:52 AM

I live in America.
If I said "arse" I would sound ridiculous.
"Ass" is the only option for me.

porkmarras 09.29.2006 09:15 AM

There are a few american expressions that you hear kids using in London.Damn it ,for example,, is popular as well as dude and the occasional ass.

sonicl 09.29.2006 09:25 AM

In the UK, the fully pronounced "arse" is a word that you would only expect to hear come from the mouths of the upper-middle and upper classes these days. Imagine Prince Charles saying "ass" and then "arse", and see what I mean.

I'm more likely to use the word "bum" myself.

Washing Machine 09.29.2006 02:33 PM

Without a doubt 'Arse', gotta love the arastrocracy lol...I love wonderfully british expressions (but then again I love the word 'Dude'...best word to ever come out of the US), even though I'm from Cardiff, I'm often told I sound like I'm from Cambridge...I have no idea how that came to be, I've never tryed to affect any accent. :confused:

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 09.29.2006 02:43 PM

ass!

Hip Priest 09.29.2006 02:51 PM

Arse.

Ass/asshole, by association with Americans, just doesn't sound right coming from other people.

hat and beard 09.29.2006 03:06 PM

as an american i am not allowed to say "arse", and ashamed as i am of my nationality, i have forbidden myself to say "ass".

therefore i go with RUMP or BOTTOM, depending on context

!@#$%! 09.29.2006 03:21 PM

 

Everyneurotic 09.29.2006 03:31 PM

assclown and arseclown don't sound the same.

whoever gets to say "arseclown" deserves a beating.

Rob Instigator 09.29.2006 03:35 PM

ASS

i really like that expression too, for some reason (but i am not a native speaker and i wonder if i have actually ever used that expression myself)

static-harmony 09.29.2006 05:00 PM

I just say ass but I like the sound of arse, so I say arse.

!@#$%! 09.29.2006 05:28 PM

likewise. and arse just sounds retarded.

"can't be assed" doesn't sound right as opposed to "can't be arsed"

Savage Clone 09.29.2006 06:55 PM

In America we just say "I don't wanna."

Neongod 09.29.2006 07:12 PM

Finally, a significant poll!

samantha. 09.29.2006 08:23 PM

Voted for arse.
I always say 'arse' (even if I do sound pompous) and never 'ass'.

Norma J 09.29.2006 11:47 PM

I say 'arse' and I spell it 'arse' because I'm Australian. If I were to say 'ass' I'd sound like a fucking idiot just like an American would saying 'arse'. I don't even have to think about which of the two I say, it's always 'arse'. I find it funny people find one 'cooler' or not.

Gulasch Noir 09.30.2006 10:18 AM

Arsch

Iain 09.30.2006 10:29 AM

It's arse. And Ass is:

a long-eared, slow, patient, sure-footed domesticated mammal, Equus asinus, related to the horse, used chiefly as a beast of burden.

Although assclown is allowed because it is a fantastic insult.

king_buzzo 10.02.2006 06:44 AM

this thread stayed longer than i expected

EMMAh 10.02.2006 10:57 AM

Ass.

Inhuman 10.02.2006 10:59 AM

Ass
