"Arse"

Rob Performing the Mega-Smash Hit "This is the A-Chord" by the M.F Pigs. What an ass.

Just as recently as right then, I was informed that my less than explifamory (you know that word that means not real good) use of English had struck again, in this particular case in the form of the word "Arse"

I decided to do a little bit of research on the topic and it turns out Rob was totally correct. Dictionary.com tells me the following

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

arse

n 1: the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on; "he deserves a good kick in the butt"; "are you going to sit on your fanny and do nothing?" [syn: buttocks, nates, butt, backside, bum, buns, can, fundament, hindquarters, hind end, keister, posterior, prat, rear, rear end, rump, stern, seat, tail, tail end, tooshie, tush, bottom, behind, derriere, fanny, ass] 2: excretory opening at the end of the alimentary canal [syn: anus, arsehole, asshole]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

while the word ass as I used it actually means



n. Vulgar Slang pl. ass·es (sz)

1.
1. The buttocks.
2. The anus.
2. Sexual intercourse.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If memory serves me correctly I used it as something like "a pain in the ass"

So I guess by this I actually inadvertedly meant "a pain in the ancient Roman coin of copper or copper alloy"

So in all cases where I said ass please replace it with "ARSE" unless I actually meant a Roman coin of copper or copper alloy.

Thanks for pointing it out Rob. Merci.
