my arse

I doubt that

My arse is a British exclamation expressing disbelief or dismissal—roughly equivalent to American "my ass" or "bullshit." It rejects what someone has just claimed: "He says he's never met her." "Never met her, my arse!".

The phrase calls out what the speaker considers an obvious lie or absurdity.
