I have watched a very silly discussion, on a Christian message board, of appropriate terms for what most Nova Scotians would call an ass or an arse. The American Christians are horrified by the words 'ass' and 'arse' and wish to impose the term 'butt' on the international community. However, the word 'ass' as in Balaam's, appears in scripture, whereas 'butt' does not, so they are in a great quandary as to what words to filter, since 'obviously', they cannot filter words that appear in the Bible.
