 In the "Ass" article page this statement appears: 
 Arse British English spelling of the colloquialism for buttocks. 

 The term "arse" is not a colloquialism although it is "not now in polite use" (Concise Oxford Dictionary). Collins dictionary says 'taboo - Old English'.  Other terms are used in this context in UK English - fundament, anus, buttocks, rump. The word is also used to mean "bottom" as in arse-end (e.g. of the town). The expression in the article, since it is expressly meant to contrast with the US English usage, is probably best written simply as: 

 Arse: British English spelling of the word for buttocks (not now in polite use).
