Actually no one I know uses the word arse around here. I've never heard anyone besides myself use it. There are several reasons I say and use the word "arse".
  • 1. I don't like to curse on forums or in mixed settings. (occasionally I break this rule but... I have to be really really irate ;) ) I often say "Gosh darnit" and "Dagnabbit".

    2. I think it just sounds funny.

    3. I've watched the entire "Father Ted" series on DVD waaaay too many times. (You can't watch just one at time.)
    "Arse! Drink! Girls!"
I won't repeat the other one father Jack says. It might actually be offensive in some areas of the world.

hmmm American, Aussies?
I actually grew up in Cornwall, who have a far more septic (tank) accent, they have some very pronounced Rs there....
Aussies have much flatter R's.
hang on did I just say ....Rs?
Vern hows your R's?
