Learning Every Day

Today's Fun Friday Factoid:

Did you know that in England the word "fanny" means vagina?

Gives you a whole different perspective on the fashion faux-pas known as the fanny pack, doesn't it?

Gosh. I love learning.

    I thought fanny packs were coming back in style.
    They are so convenient, they hold everything :)

    Haha yes I did know that, coming from England and everything. Did you also know that 'fanny packs' are often referred to as 'bum bags' in this crazy corner of the world?

    But what does fanny mean where you reside? To me it has only ever meant one thing...

    Stateside definition of "fanny" is bum, backside, or arse. Weird how things get mixed up when they jump the pond.
