Today, my cousin came to visit from America. While out shopping, she said loudly that she was having trouble finding clothes to fit around her huge fanny, causing a lot of people to stare in our direction. I had to explain to her that "fanny" in the UK means "vagina." FML

I find this absolutely hilarious. Thankfully, if I go to visit my cousin in the UK (I actually do have a cousin who lives there), I already know that slang... Plus I don't really ever say the word fanny anyway...

Actually, canatonicsleep, they are made to be worn the fanny (north American translation) when they are not in use. Just think of the way bikers (pedals) wear them.

I call it a fanny pack though I have learnt something new...I had no idea that was the american term for it. I assumed it was called fanny pack cos it is worn over the fanny, ie ******. now I feel foolish...
