I'll swear, the preceeding exchange leaves me more firmly convinced that
"Aus" simply is a misspelling of "Ass". Now, if the actual productive
contributors here could resist quoting the argumentative, self-important,
all-knowing twits....


And I'm wondering if that 'ass' is supposed to mean 'arse' since knowing
the difference between a derriere and a donkey is beyond so many people.

In the US the term arse is virtually unknown. The term ass covers a lot of
territory including the two you mentioned, both with and without a prefix.
