I am amused that "Fanny" in GB not only means "vajayjay" its actually used as a girl's name.
This makes FANNY HILL a REALLY appropriate name.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

[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.

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.

But he said it on the news...OMG. Like hearing it from your favorite teacher.
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.

Compassionately intolerant
fanny packs
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.

Wait...is it bum packs??
The whole "they call them < snicker > fanny packs" in America is a great great awesome moment in the UK Office.

I wonder if fanny packs didn't make the transition to GB because no marketing person was willing to face the task of coming up with a name that drew no snickers.
