May I deprecate the use of the American term "asses" when we are should be using the Good Old English word "arses"? Who gave you your damn language? If it's good enough for Chaucer et al, it should be good enough for this forum.

If Trump can call his many many sycophants "asseholes" then I can surely use the word "ass" ... with a hole in them.Originally Posted by Oliver2
Ollie, stuck in 'Olde Englisc' won't get you anywhere in this forum of illiterates.
Just for enlightenment: which do Palestinians use, arses or asses?
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
surely in Chaucer's time that would be arfes
Bearing in mind that we use the word "ass" ( literally a donkey) to describe a numpty, a buffoon, an idiot etc, Palestinians know an American "ass" when they see him on TV, or an American "arsehole" when they hear him. Just like we all do.

Arfes is probably derived from the French 'la fesse' referring to one cheek that makes up a bottom 'la derrière'.
Bkkguy is partly correct but the consonant to which he refers is not our "f"; it lacks the middle bar, is a form of "s" and its use instead of "s" is dependent on its position in the word.
This must be the most interesting thread on this forum. Ever. But no more please.... let's get get back to arses, arfes or even asses.
Yes indeed, the thread has gone arseways!
Halcyon, please rescue

OMG-first thanks. Have not been there so long-has anyone current. uptodate pix of what the signs show now? Was not that giant streetwide board with Boyztown removed to spare some easily hurt souls?
Now that I see this and back to subject: if at all possible collecting old pix would be more fun and instructive as just gathering names+adresses.
