Doesn't "arse" just sound better though?! I really do think it does.

Are British swear words really that uncommon in America? I would have thought they would spread quite well via the net.
We use arse, also.

But if we're pissed, we say ass. Arse is way too proper.

When I'm pissed, the first word out of my mouth would be "shit", "fuck", "damn", and about someone "asshole", "ass(variations on the ending)", "dumbfucker", about something "bullshit". That ends it all, because I can't say anything else after I've already called "bullshit".
beachguy in thongs Reviewed by beachguy in thongs on . UK-US-AUS-NZ-CAN-IRE etc. Slang thread. We all speak english but not exactly the same so I thought we could have a cross cultural discussion on how english is spoken in different places. For instance.. "Pissed" in the US means "mad or angry" but in the UK and elsewhere it means drunk. To "take the piss" in the UK means to make fun of...whereas in the US that would mean that you have taken some urine...er.. somewhere. To take "a piss" in the US means well..to urinate. Rating: 5
