What connotation does fanny have in Britain?
It's the kind-of-dirty kidsy word for vagina.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, huh. Must be why it's one of the few British cusswords I haven't heard on Torchwood, that I can recall.

It's not really a curse word, I'd say. Like 'crappy' isn't a curseword.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's fucking snowing....

Ah. I get the kidsy aspect of it. Which would explain why the students blushed and giggled.

So, it's just lame. An even better reason for not being used on Torchwood.
