    When I was a boy my dad gave me money to go downtown and pay the

    a new truck. I told my dad when I got home and he beat my ass but the
    next morning in the driveway sat a brand new truck. We all held each
    other and cried, especially me cause it was the truck from the
    electric company there to turn off the lights. ...Dad beat my ass again.


    Your poor equine. Just as well he didn't beat your arse - that would
    have hurt YOU !

    For a not insignificant number of english speaking people, "ass" is used
    to refer to the human rear end. Anyone saying "arse" would be given a questioning look.

    <cross-posting removed>

    That 'questioning look' is a great learning tool though. Why use the word for something else to say
    what you mean when an exact word for it already exists (and has for hundreds of years)?

    BTW "english" should start with 'E'. I know, pedantry but if some of us don't give a rat's arse
    then sooner or later we'll all be doomed to writing in hieroglyphics ('emojis') again. A step back
    of a few thousand years...
