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.


But "arse" does demarcate that space encircled by the sphincter from the
donkey.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
