lucas Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 so if fanny means bum does bum mean fanny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robadob Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 nothing wrong with a good old faggot got 6 of them lined up for tomorrow night, see if i can get me hands on a couple baps too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Scholl Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Obviously fag has a different meaning here in America than it does in the UK. My sister, when we worked together, used to always say she was going out back to "blow a fag" when she went on a cigarette break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 so if fanny means bum does bum mean fanny? I think that you will find a Bum is a tramp/Hobo ie homeless person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I believe you gents have a different use for the word fanny....as mentioned above we use it for bum... Then perhaps you ALSO should know your bum is round the BACK not on the front as the pic portrays. Fannies are round the front though so the picture confuses me??? I know people say Americans HAVE to be different from pronounciations to meanings but SURELY you realise your bottom is round back or do you wipe the front after going for a dump? btw that means a crapper in our backward little country Edited November 7, 2011 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister, when we worked together, used to always say she was going out back to "blow a fag" when she went on a cigarette break. She would get quite a look for using that turn of phrase over here..... The polite version of the translation in "American" would be "Orally service a homosexual" If she's ever over here tell her to say "Going out to have a smoke" it'll save a lot of confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people say Americans HAVE to be different from pronounciations to meanings but SURELY you realise your bottom is round back or do you wipe the front after going for a dump? btw that means a crapper in our backward little country Actually bum and fanny mean the same on these shores, both referring to the noble buttocks. Bum = Fanny = *** = keister = dumper = pooper = hiney = tush = Dat Azz Dump = **** = poo = poop = baking a hot lunch = pinching a loaf = dropping the kids off at the pool Here's one for our American cousins.....on some of our streets you'll sometimes see a bum bumming a fag! You'll see that over here too but it usually involves bus station men's rooms and has nothing to do with cigarettes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
