    How come here it means a womans front bum.
    In America, it means a man OR a womans back bum?

    I also have an UNCLE :eek: called Fanny!

    And though I've never met Gerry Adams relation Fanny, him/her is supposed to be sweet!

    Yeah it's weird.. Rememeber a yank falling on his ass one day and saying "oh my fanny hurts". And it was a bloke!

    Remember the dreaded bum bags that were never stylish? Well they are called fanny packs in the states! We should have called them geebags!

    Which reminds me, when I was last in America I saw a guy on the street with a fag in his mouth. :eek: No-one said a thing to him!

    According to here it was gee before arse.
    "buttocks," 1920, Amer.Eng., from earlier British meaning "vulva" (1879), perhaps from the name of John Cleland's heroine in the scandalous novel "Fanny Hill or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" (1748). The fem. proper name is a dim. of Frances. The genital sense is still the primary one outside U.S., but is not current in Amer.Eng., a difference which can have consequences when U.S. TV programs and movies air in Britain.

    I think you need to learn the difference of your arse from your elbow.

    In my line of work interacting with many foreigners, that name Fanny has popped up a few times. I think its a popular German or Spanish first name, can't remember which :)

    These puns are as delicate as a bull in a vagina shop.

    Yes. It looks like a bottom, only at the front. And smaller. For some. Unless you have a gunt.

    Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Marge is talking about Bart and Lisa's bum bags or something and says "Your fannys match!"? I snort every time.

    I think a vagina being referred to as a "front bum" is just ridiculous.
