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!
