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. Steve


In the US, the terme "arse" is well known. We understand it to be "ass"
with a British drawl. This is not meant to imply that our understanding
is in anyway correct, but the word is known.


It'd be good if you mob would adopt the spelling if it's well known.
Donkeys are delightful animals and I'm sure must object vociferously to such
abusive mangling of their name.
