Sinister: the word "ace"

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...
