whats the video, the title

 

[constant escape]

I actually watched the whole thing. All 3 hours and 37 minutes of it. Thats the fealty I'm willing to pay to the motherland.

 

[catalog]

Fealty is a word used in game of thrones quite lot.

 

[catalog]

Constant escape can you help me I would like to know the precise moment in America at which the word arse became ass.

 

[constant escape]

I would guess upon landing the ships. First order of business: distinguishing the profanity of the new land.

 

[catalog]

I think it's either something to do with a conflation between ass as in small donkey or the melvil Dewey related movement where they tried to simplify English eg color not colour, catalog not catalogue. But that one does not explain its (arse) use by James Baldwin in 'another country'

 

[constant escape]

Etymonline has greek "orros", meaning lower spine/rump, for arse, and greek "onos", meaning anus, for ass. Not sure if those help make any distinction.

edit: haven't looked into either before.
