It's funny what words have different meanings in different countries. I worked with a girl from Britain several years ago who told me that when she first came to the US to work, the physician who did her ore-employment physical walked into the exam room and patted the top of the table saying "sit your fanny up here". She said she almost freaked!
For the rest of us yanks, evidently "fanny" in the UK is the equivalent of the "c" word.

PS - I wonder how many American guys have visited the UK and freaked when asked if they 'want a fag'? (in UK that's a cigarette...) :lol:
