It's this meant to be ass as in your rear end? Or like a donkey? If it's the former the UK is actually arse. Ass is north American
This is not a 100% accurate. I guess it is based on some translation tool. Arabic word used is standard Arabic which is very polite. Dialects use other words depending on the degree of vulgarity. Many countries have the same different words to describe the same. Think of it like ass, rear and bottom.
What I'm getting at is though that no-one I know in the UK (unless they "terminally" consume North American content) says "ass" unironically. They say "arse".
Which means the chart is not accurate.
Oh right, I think I misread your reply as in saying my comment was not 100% accurate.
