Cool story bro. No, really, good job, Willis! BSam ESam and Dante Lante were the best. He was grounded for being an arsehole. Why do British people say arsehole? Or just arse? Because we can't be arsed to explain.

"Arse" seems too fancy for a swear word.

I'd always wondered that too, Bryan. It's just not something you ever see/hear in the United States.
Also, this is such a weird story. How did you come up with this idea?

Also, for a long time I thought arse was just a nice way to say ass without saying ass. Like bloody. Here some people will use bloody in place of a swear word because it's not considered bad at all.

I had thought it was the other way round: 'ass' was a way of avoiding saying 'arse'. By the way, when using the UK version of Word, you must be very careful when writing the word 'arising'.

Well, why shouldn't we? Or putting it another way, why do Americans say ass or asshole? 'Ass' in British means 'donkey', literally, or 'fool' metaphorically. Ya, everything Hermes says. Also you gotta admit "arse" is cooler. Way cooler.

The story is based on "Chicken" by Gordon Dioxide, which Pandora read to lull me, Charlotte, and Willis to sleep the other night.
