In case you didn’t know, “ahh” originated as an eye dialect form of “ass” representing a debuccalized pronunciation used in some dialects of AAVE, I think Southern dialects specifically — so “ahh” was not originally intended as a word replacement, any more than “ass” was intended as a word replacement of “arse”. Rather “ahh” was just a representation of how the word was pronounced by some people.
The problem is that probably most people online who use “ahh” instead of “ass” nowadays are either tu-vuo-falling Black people, or they find “ahh” inherently comical, or they’re using “ahh” to evade social media censorship bots.
