Edit: I don’t mean they sound the same I mean the word arse is pronounced how I figured British would pronounce ass with the drawn r rather than the way arse is pronounced (at least where I’m from) it’s a hard r

    I feel like parts of the UK have always said ass instead of arse. Like how some places say pants instead of trousers.

      Isn’t pants an American thing? Never heard that word used here to mean anything other than certain types of underwear

        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.
