An 'arse' to me is something that belongs to a big fat bloke and has a hairy crack

An 'ass' is smaller, cuter and more petite

Masked and Distant

Arse is used in the insulting context for me, usually prefixed by;

Sweaty, smelly or complete.

Bum and bottom are used in a complimenting way;

Sexy, curvy, bump up againstable.

Only exception being "gorge-arse"

You should say, in a condescending tone "No dear, you pay them to get it for you".

On my life as a performer, I used to call myself the 'Tranny with a Fanny' (but after an article in The Guardian last year, was harangued out of it and though my trans friends supported my use of it, decided it wasn't worth further hassle and don't want to offend other trans folk).

Anyway...when doing gigs in America was always a hoot when they introduced me, as fanny there means bum
