The correct English spelling of the much less robust Ass. An arse is a person's backside, derriere, situpon, bottom, botty, bum, behind etc. (From the German Arsch which means arse). Arse can also mean (as is common with most English slang words for the lower regions) a stupid person (especially when suffixed with -hole).

A butt, typically used by British or Irish individuals. For Americans, it is the equivalent of "ass". Both are correct terms.

Another word that pompous Brits like to hold over American's heads as they talk down to them about the meaning and spelling of the word.
It means butt. It's that simple, yet that big of a deal, apparently. Anything to help keep their smug egos aloft... otherwise they'd be crushed under the sheer weight of them.

Brit #1: You're saying it wrong!
Yank #1: Well, since this is another country, words tend to be spelled and pronounced differently. It's called an accent. Don't be an arse.

Americans are so dumb that they cannot pronounce a word in their own language.
They say 'ass' for 'arse'
Ass is a synonym for Donkey. Poor Donkey!

The correct spelling for a persons buttocks or behind.
The Americans are stupid and spell it "ass" like a donkey.
This term can also be used to insult.
