Hasn't even been a day!
It was just yesterday that I wrote about British slang sneaking past the inguistically timid when American slang won't. So when I saw the comic shown here I was quite amused.
Okay, it's not like ass is anything more than a crude term. And arse is rather cute sounding. But we're not talking about "crude" or "cute." We're talking principle. Maybe I'm making too much of it, though. One of the authors of the strip, Johnny Hart, is a stand-up Christian, as witnessed (pun intended) at his product site -- WGH Success.
