I don't wish to be pedanticbut I think you may have added an additional apostrophe to the term 'arseholes'.
While not a crime as such, this board does seem to take these little errors of language quite seriously and it may result in people correcting you.
You may wish to know something of the origin of the term. I have taken the trouble to browse the internet and have found this entry:
ARSE
Though not a word in polite use, 'arse', like many old words describing body parts and functions, originates in Indo-european. The IE word was *orsos which produced words meaning 'bottom' or 'tail' in most Germanic languages. The US 'ass' is a euphemistic spelling of 'arse' which reflects the general US pronunciation.
The bird the 'wheatear' has nothing to do with wheat or ears but comes from 'white arse' after its white tail feathers.
End quote.
Do take a little more care in future postings.
Hugs and fluffy kisses.
