Mutual synonyms
Both words in one sentence
- Arse: the British version of "ass", as in your backside.
Source: Useful Notes / British English - This is reportedly why the pronunciation of "Arceus" in Pokémon was changed from "Ar-say-oos" (Japanese) to "Ark-ee-us" (English) - the dubbers thought "Ar-say-oos" sounded too much like "arse" (British mildly vulgar term for the backside, equivalent to "ass" in American English).
