Some of the banter between the pair of them was superb. Very enjoyable.

I always thought Fanny was short for Frances until I saw Fanny on her death certificate and her daughter's birth certificate.

I do wonder why it became associated with the female anatomy haha

[barry1010]

It the US it means your bottom, as in 'fanny bags' (whatever happened to bum bags?)

[Jackdaw33]

In America it means backside. "If you do that again I'll paddle your fanny (smack your bottom)"

[Bobbisox1]

Then 3000 miles east of America , it changes haha

I would if it got the slang meaning during WWI when Fannies (or Fanys) were created? The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. I bet many a soldier lusted after a FANY

Should it not be ynnafynnarg? ;)
