I once slapped an American chap cos he told me I had a 'cute fanny'. Having said that, I probably would have slapped him anyway, regardless of the comment, the lecherous idiot.

Thanks for this question. I've really enjoyed reading the answers. I've never had the good fortune to travel outside the U.S., so I didn't have a clue that "fanny" meant vagina there. Here, if someone says they "fell on their fanny" they've fallen on their butt. I guess you'd have to do the splits to "fall on your fanny" in the UK. LOL. I'd love to know more words that mean something different in other places.

No.A £=a quid.the different words have replaced with the aid of fact the humorous funds got here in. 6 pence exchange right into a tanner. A shilling exchange right into a bob. A 2 shilling piece exchange right into a florin. 2 shillings and sixpence piece exchange right into a million/2 a greenback.(that exchange into whilst a greenback united stateschange into incredibly worth 5 shillings which exchange right into a million/2 a quid. sparkling.

No. And I'm not American. But I did once have an interesting and amusing conversation with an American based around their misunderstanding of my use of the word 'rubber', meaning 'eraser'.
The look on their face, and the disgust and incredulity when I suggested they use a soft pencil and a rubber had to be seen to be believed. We did sort it out in the end. But they never spoke to me again.

I am Canadian and my embarrassing experience was with a different word.
I did not know that the word "faag" meant a cigarette in Britain, so in a bar one night , a lady asked me for a "faag"and I told her that I did not know any that I knew of.
A gentleman at the next table clued me in but when I offered the woman a cigarette she kind of huffed and told me to get stuffed, which took me back to the "faag" line again.
F-a-g is spelled wrong to get around the censors.

YES! I was chatting in an online forum and talking about how I couldn't find my "fanny pack" (aka, butt=bag.. you know, those zippered pouches with a nylon belt). A British poster asked me what the blink I was talking about... oops!

John McEnroe, doing one of his early stints with the BBC Wimbledon commentary team, said of a female tennis star "She stretched for that one and fell on her fanny" to the great amusement of his fellow commentators.

My name is Bobby-Joe Shitheel. I come fron Kansas. When I came to the uk I asked a girl, 'Can I **** your fanny?' She said 'you dirty bastard, no but you can give me a felch if you like.' This charming toothless biatch is now my wife, Amanda Shitheel. We have 2 children, Gobshite and *******. I let my wife name the kids something traditional and British.
