Macca65 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 As we appear to quite a diverse forum, nationality speaking, I am curious if anyone has a word in their language that means something completely different in another country e Eg Fanny in America is a word for your bum, behind, posterior, in the UK it can be a female name or a slang word for a females genetilia. I always have a little chuckle when I hear Americans say Fanny Pack, meaning bum bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I got plenty of slang form the US but pretty sure I'd get banned if I were to start using it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procreate Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 prick is used in the US. more so a few decades ago than now, havent heard it in a while. americans who wear fanny packs deserve a chuckle... though i do laugh about the british term for a smoke and its other association here in the US. you certainly dont go out for a fag in the US unless you are into that sort of thing.
