In England, if you have a bug problem with your fanny, then something is wrong.

Really? I thought that 'fanny' was US colloquial for butt or something, as in fanny-pack? confuse


Well maybe it was a word of yours, but you guys decided to get rid of it because the Brit's kept on confusing it with minge. hah! "Fanny"

No one I know uses it on a regular basis.

We usually say ass. Or butt (though I personally never use that word). Or maybe bum on occasion.

i say booty, butt, ass, or hind quarters
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?

Here's why:



U cant call this a booty pack, or an ass pack, or a ba-doonka doonk pack. Its a fanny pack!

Without the word "fanny" we'd have to call it one of the above terms, and that just wouldnt be right.

Would it?
