Because an 'ass' is a donkey. And, of course, a donkey helped the little baby Jesus to escape from Egypt. So they deserve more respect than to be synonymous with shitty hindquarters.
And why do y'all say 'y'all'?
Never heard of it! Perhaps you mean Cockney!
Mums, on the whole, are considerably slimmer.
Cock it is just an exclamation of anger/frustration. Cock is not a swear word so its OK to say it in front of your granny as opposed to Fuck it. Like "Cock it! I forgot to cut up the corpse gran, its everso much more difficult to do now that rigor mortis has set it!"
Mom is not used in the UK, we refer to our female parent unit as Mum. . .or, The Devil's Concubine.
Why do you say ass and not arse?

The English dont say anything before a meal although if I am having dinner with friends or at a dinner party we may say 'cheers' before we all dive in.

Before we dine, we all stand salute & utter the following invocation –
Oh Queen, sacred matriarch of this sceptre isle.
We thank thee for this bounteous feast which we enjoy under your regal protection.
We praise your name with every edible morsel we digest.
We pay homage to Shakespeare, James Bond, Winston Churchill & Frank Spencer.
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Then we take our first bite, which we chew 42 times & spit out into a silver-plated bucket emblazoned with the royal crest. This is collected at the end of the week by employees of Her Majesty who deliver it to her feeding pit. Then they all encircle it & rotate 180 degrees while our most Holy Monarch crawls into the pit & begins to devour her subject’s offerings. Often the noise can drive those under her employ insane, but this is a small price to pay for a life of service to our most benevolent one.

Dude, like, where's Eirelandland?
Is that the place the americans would send money to about 20 years ago when they were funding the I.R.A. and also funding the Taliban in Afghanistanland because Terrorism is fine until it affects americaland?
You are probably correct, but I do not wish to to discuss Irish American politics......especially on the day this is.
It is St. Patricks Day and we Irish just want to PARTAAAY. :glugglug:

It's very rare these days, because the Yankees went to Iraq, set fire to our share and stole the rest. Bloody Derek Jeter, I never liked him. :tongue: Doesn't bother me though, I know how to grow my own diesel. :thefinger :wave2:
We call it a loo, or khazi, or bog, or pisser, or shithouse or toilet (does that word make American's blush?) because that's what it is. Or we say we're going to spend a penny, or see a man about a dog.
Its not a bathroom because of the simple fact that there's no bloody bath in there! Or do you lot piss in the bath?!? Or washroom as you also call it. I'm not going for a wash, I'm going to throttle a mars bar!

Actually "toilet" is a Victorian euphanism because it really means washing, grooming hair etc (hence "toilet water".people used to say "I must do my toilet" as a polite way of excusing themselves.
Chamber's dictionary ;
toilet noun 1 a lavatory. 2 (also toilette) the act of washing, dressing and arranging one's hair. 3 the cleansing of a part of the body after an operation or childbirth, etc.
ETYMOLOGY: 17c in sense 2; 16c in obsolete sense 'a wrapper for clothes': from French toilette a little cloth.
