1 year agoI feel like parts of the UK have always said ass instead of arse. Like how some places say pants instead of trousers.
Its another local accent word from nearish Manchester iirc that got taken over when colonists went to America. Its be like if mostly Yorkshire people went over as colonists and Americans used keks/kegs instead of pants.
