Laura Corin Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I inhaled the water I was drinking and laughed until I cried. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara R Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (Yes, for the record, I DO believe we - Americans - have a collective maturity level of 12 year old boys.) I don't think it's just Americans. I was watching a British (maybe Australian) news broadcast about the mortgage meltdown, and the broadcaster had a hard time saying "Fannie Mae." (Fanny means something different overseas.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason that you won't find Brits rolling about laughing at that product name is that the slang is different in Britain - that's why I pointed out that my husband is American.

A "fanny" to us Australians is a lady's "front bottom" :D I didnt know what a fanny was for years, as as a child, who read lots of American book, I was always amazed to read lines such as " She got a swift kick in the fanny". I always thought it was such a silly place to kick someone.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He picked that up from Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" song. :svengo: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon H in IL Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Ah yes. I learned the Brit-speak meaning for fanny from a friend who did a year of medical training at a London hospital. His recounting of how he used it inappropriately with an elderly lady during a gyn exam made a hilarious story. And my DH would react the same way to Laura's original post as her DH did. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
