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.

It was pointed out that arse sounds like ass, and it does. To me at least. Well, okay. It sounds like ahse.
