Boss: Why didn't you put the fire out before it burned down the building!

Jones: I didn't know the room I was in was on fire because I was doing something important on the internet, Johnson didn't check the smoke detector batteries.

Boss: Way to CYA Jones!

"arse" sounds like a down east Canadian expression

In Ontario, it's "cover your ass"
Here in Ottawa, in the public service, one must make sure to CYA in everything you do, and covering your boss's ass isnt a bad thing either.
