Variant of ; used chiefly in North America. Ultimately from, , from , , from , from (compare 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), from  (compare 🇨🇬).

Contrary to the widespread belief of this being a euphemism, it arose as a pronunciation spelling (of the older form still used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) that shows the assimilation of  before  consonants (especially ), a phenomenon that has been present in nonstandard speech from the  period onwards; this is distinct from the later phenomenon of non-rhoticity as  was lost before it could modify the preceding vowel. Other instances of this phenomenon (some of which retained both spellings with different meanings) include from,  from ,  from ,  from ,  from ; see Category:English terms with assimilation of historic /ɹ/ for a more extensive list.

Usage notes
Its semantic essence is (even of oneself), whereby a chief body part synecdochically represents the whole self, with a connotation emphasizing the person's corporeality over their personhood (from that viewpoint, compare also, , , , or ).
 * When used synecdochically to refer to a (whole) person, it adds a tone of anger or disapproval to the whole sentence:
 * "he has trouble getting his ass up in the morning" is much stronger and more negative than "he has trouble getting up in the morning".
 * The disapproval may not be of the person so referred to:
 * "And who do you think has to clean this mess up? My ass does!" (Does not indicate disapproval of the speaker themselves, but rather of the people who made the mess.)
 * (A hint of jaded self-perception may be perceived: "I realize how they see me!")
 * Such usage is usually considered vulgar and is thus usually confined to casual/informal ; its use in formal contexts is mildly offensive.
 * Its declined forms function pronominally in syntax, which is to say (regarding part of speech), they are pronouns:
 * his ass =, ,
 * her ass =, ,
 * your asses =, ,
 * their asses =, ,
 * your asses =, ,
 * their asses =, ,
