My dad lived in Altamonte for many years. All I remember about Ocala was
that we played against them in softball, and they usually kicked our
arses...



Now that's interesting. You commented a few posts above about the way that I
spell 'humour', surmising (correctly) that I may be British. Back at ya now.
That's the first time I've ever seen an American spell 'arses' the same as
we do, rather than as a donkey-like animal ... ??

Until this year, I had never seen or heard the term 'arse'; yet I see a number
of N.G. posts from residents of the southern US which include the term. Most
Canadians seem to say 'ass', however some made-in-the-UK movies for worldwide
distribution don't use 'arse', instead substitution 'ass' in the dialog.
Go figure. BTW, how could anyone reasonably say "barse arkwards"?
