If you see this with your girlfriend...
...don't laugh at the line "Marry my Fanny", it gets you slapped:(
shareNo one (or few) in the USA will understand what you are talking about. But I understand the modern usage of "fanny" in GB.
You know when we call a man a dick here in the States, we don't mean the diminutive of Richard, but we distinquish the word from the nickname. If I were to say, "Marry me, Dick," people would have to be asses to laugh.
"I'd never ask you to trust me. It's the cry of a guilty soul."
I don't know where the hell you're from but pretty much every american knows that fanny is an uncommon term for butt.
shareWell yes, in American terms - in Aussie terms it is a slang word for vagina.
I think she's the saddest girl ever to hold a martini.
"fanny" in GB is the equivalent to "pussy" in the USA
That's what I was referring to.
Yet if someone calls their cat a "pussy cat" in the US, only the very vulger would poke and laugh. My point is that most people are capable of descerning two meanings for the same word based upon usage. We haven't slid that much down the slope of sophisticated language, I'd hope.
