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 :lol:

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. :lol:

 

 

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 :lol:

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! :rolleyes:

 

 

You'll see that over here too but it usually involves bus station men's rooms and has nothing to do with cigarettes....
