It's interesting to see the lovely UK residents use "ace" as a positive adjective, where a lot of us across the pond in the colonies use it in a different sense. At least in my little circle of friends, we use "ace" as a slightly more polite "ass". It's not as churchy as "butt" (not that butt can really be "churchy" either...), but it's less vulgar than "ass". Example: (as girl in bikini walks by) "Look at THAT ace!" Example 2: "stick it up your ace" Please excuse the profanity, as well as the pseudo-profanity...
