Some wonderful words have come from American English - hornswoggle is my favourite - but 'asshole' sounds like a sneeze. No power in it.

I genuinely had to have a conversation with my daughter abt this. She watches a lot of American gaming stuff & speaks of 'ass-kicking.'

Bizarre conversation in which I explained that the British word is 'arse' so she should say that but also she shouldn't coz its rude.
-
I now happen to know that she says 'ass' to her gaming friends but 'bottom' to me. Well, that didn't work.

Also, were you really in Broxbourne? Train? On the one behind you if so!
-
No. Twitter gets confused abt where I am!

I have seen a few and will always be great supporter of the "wonderful British 'arse'" Sadly I think I no longer posses one :(

Alas, a problem experienced by many older men. I've the opposite problem & am working to reduce mine.

To be fair, it's shorter for Twitter purposes and I note with some dismay that even you used an "altho" earlier today!

'Altho' is American? NO! This abbreviation excuse could lead to the end of our 'u's etc. Resist!

I completely agree with you, but I really feel the need to troll. You're a pain in my arse ... Can't do it. Can't use American

Good boy.

That's sexist. Kiss my arse .... Still can't do it. Even then.

Wait! I thought they were synonyms? I'm so confused!
-
Yes, its the word itself I want to keep.
-
Aha! I thought I was missing some semantic distinction for the preservation of which you were calling.
