Edit: I don’t mean they sound the same I mean the word arse is pronounced how I figured British would pronounce ass with the drawn r rather than the way arse is pronounced (at least where I’m from) it’s a hard r

Those words sound the same? I’m one of those Americans who did not know.
Those words do not sound the same
Not in the slightest in the UK. Source: in the UK.
Ass isn’t really said, and more seen as an ‘Americanism’. Arse is way more common.
Nope. They do not sound the same.
Not quite. Brits don’t pronounce the R before a consonant, but the vowel will be more similar to the vowel in “paw” than in “ash.”
To me arse just sounded like the British way of saying ass and I never really questioned it but I learned eventually
