"Fannie" (as in butt) was on the bad word list.

From The Origins and Common Usage of British Swear-words

The word 'fanny' in America is, like, 'bum', mildly vulgar, meaning 'buttocks'. In the UK, however, it is rarely used in polite conversation as it would be interpreted as meaning 'vagina'.

That's quite a different meaning!
