The male genitalia being referred to as a rooster is self-evident in its association. From breeding, to being prideful, to fighting other roosters to the death for the right to breed hens, the name exudes maleness.

But why is a buttocks associated with a donkey? I'm sure it had something to do with the view from behind when a man was riding on top of a donkey.

"Arse" is English and over time it just got started being pronounced as "ass." Inversely the term for donkey is likely a mispronunciation of the Sumerian "ansu." The former came well before the latter.

Wait, what? Arse came before ass?

This is like finding out that Go-Bots came before Transformers, but a million times more intense.

And thank you for the info.

I don't know who I am anymore. It's like everything I ever knew was a lie. How do I know I'm not actually in East Asia instead of North America? I've never looked at the globe from space. They could have told me I was anywhere and I would have believed it. What if this is actually Australia?
