arse

[certainthings]

often when I am reading fanfiction and there are british speakers involved I will come across the word arse and/or arsehole.

and yet.

out of all the movies, tv shows and stand up I've seen with british speakers, I don't know that I've actually heard one of them ever say the word arse.

ass, yes. asshole, yes. but not arse or arsehole.

I feel like I'm missing out.

Really? Because I say arse constantly. Arseing hell, oh arse, fucking arsehole, his arse is epic... I've said all of these today.

Really, I don't doubt it happens. I just don't know that I've heard it. I mean, I might have and I just wasn't paying attention but yeah.
