Let's keep RHP Orzstrayyyylun

June 20 2013

So, just one of our little pet hates, but one we find very amusing also. We'd like to think that in Australia a bum is still an "arse", not an "ass". Technically, an "ass" is a mule. Hoping we're not all completely Americanised yet. Although it does provide us with some frequent amusement, when posters talk about having a finger in their "ass", or how they love sticking their cock in someone's "ass" etc. Anyway, to the Americanisation of our language we say "Pig's arrrrrssse, MATE!"

    MATE. And yes, while a finger in my arse is welcomed, fingering ass's has never really done much for me.... But to each their own I guess :) Hp xo- Posted from rhpmobile

Anyway, my arse / ass got plenty of attention last night ;) Then by all means use another word. Bum, bottom, behind, butt - whatever you like. But why use "ass"? It doesn't have anything to do with your backside, unless you come from the good old US of A, eat apple pie and drink whiskey and rye, and call your mother "mommy". lol.

    Ass still means arse, or bottom, or bot-bot, or whatever word you want to use for it. It's just a different spelling. As Funlover pointed out we use s instead of z in some of our words, but the words still mean the same thing spelled either way. So I'll keep using ass or arse depending on how I feel at the time.- Posted from rhpmobile

As per the Oxford dictionary: ARSE - (n) "buttocks, rump". ASS - (n) "long eared quadruped of the horse family" or "stupid fellow".   The "alternative spelling" point that Funlover was making was that American spellings often use a "z" where we use an "s" eg realise / realize etc. This is nothing to do with the arse / ass conundrum. Hahaha.

    I love that word. So if the Americans want to spell arse it would be arze? kind of looses something in the translation. OMG I just had a horrible thought, just thought about all those American porn movies where the girls are yelling " Feck me in the ass" they are actually into bestiality? LOL

    that the Americans and the British....therefore the Orstrayyylans....spell some words quite differently ,is because Dr.Johnson and Mr.Webster were putting their lexigographies together at approximately the same time. Samuel Johnson worked on his Dictionary of the English Language for nine years.It was published in 1755. The Oxford English Dictionary was not published until 150 years later. Noah Webster published his Institute of the English Language in 1783,then in1828 he published An American Dictionary of the English Language.It contained words and colloquialisms that were very American. The English language is ever evolving,the Oxford Dictionary now contains lol for instance. Ass/arse,color/colour/,center/centre,and brite/bright are all examples of the difference between American and English spelling. The Macquarie Dictionary,a dictionary of Australian English ,was first published in 1981,it lists-ise spellings first with -ize spellings as being acceptable ,unlike the Oxford which does not. So as is the Orstralyyan way,we can be flexible with our ass/arse no matter what color/colour/it is or how we fantasise/fantasize about it's uses.

Unlike colour/color, centre/center which are the same word but with different spellings depending upon whether you are using the American or English version. But if you want to involve an animal when you start spanking "ass" go right ahead... hehehehehehe.Anyway, we just like causing a "kerfuffle". Let the opinions flow!

    Quoting 'Funlover71'I wish people would realise realize is Yankee spelling. We use s where the Yanks use z. Actually that's not entirely right. Yep the yanks only use '-ize', but both 'realize' and 'realise' are acceptable in British English (though the latter is more common.) Same is true for organise/organize and most other '-ise' verbs (but not all!) You'll find different preferences depending on the source. For example, the OED actually lists the '-ize' spellings first and '-ise' as accepted variants, while The Guardian style-guide uses '-ise'. It's all to do with Frenchy-Latiny things - you can get a pretty good summary at http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/03/ize-or-ise/   The short of it is, realise/realize is not a clear division in the same way colour/color or arse/ass is.   Which is to say nothing of the mutability of language and spelling and yada yada blerg.   Cunning linguists indeed.

    the point about the English language is that it is ever evolving.....otherwise we would still be thouing and forsoothing and such....spelling is the same...and if you want to be a snob about it that is rather antediluvian....common usuage is the predictor.

    I hate the way ockers speak. Butchering the English language tut tut. However I do enjoy saying cunt. I also know where that word originated. Kinda funny- if you were to fuck what was originally a cunt. You would have baaaaad splinter dick!The accent is what makes me cringe the most.Putting on a koori or ocker accent is a great way to drive away unwanted sexual advances from deros, esp when spoken in an unnaturally high or low pitched tone.As long as words are spelled correctly in one form of English or the other, it doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother you either.
