I am amused that "Fanny" in GB not only means "vajayjay" its actually used as a girl's name.
Is it at least an old-fashioned girl's name?
Like, calling men "Dick" died out about the time that bit of slang came to the fore...
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My mother would find my tagline appalling. Even though she curses a lot. But she doesn't get the "Wire" thing either. TV is part of it, here, sure. The first time I heard Keith Olbermann call something "crap" on "Countdown", I almost posted about it. Even though I had heard the word about a billion times when that happened, and he was right.(Whatever) was complete crap. But he said it on the news...OMG. Like hearing it from your favorite teacher. I hate it when my dad curses in front of me though, cause it is a total sign he is mad at me and hostile. He is generally quite insanely proud of his lack of cussing.

This makes FANNY HILL a REALLY appropriate name.

Also, halfway hoping Mom's around when I meet Corwood and call out "Hey, you Austin cocksucker!" even though she won't get that either.

I had that same reaction last night, when he and Rachel Maddow were saying that something "really sucked." It's not a word that normally pings my radar, but hearing it on a news show is rather strange!

So what are fanny packs called in England?
And, no, I don't mean what the snickerers are thinking. Which I'm now thinking. And snickering about.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've heard "bum bag", but I also get the impression that the packs themselves are way more common in the US, so it may not be used that much at all.

I've heard bum bag...which has its own connotations. It's a seesaw of snicker worthy references.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The first time I heard "bullshit" on NYPD Blue, I almost jumped out of my seat.
