I always crack up when Americans use the term fanny! Fill me in. I take "fanny" to be a baby word for arse. (Pardon my French.) How do use it, or like the French purportedly treat ketchup, do you not use it at all?
It's not a word I ever use; I sorta tolerate it. I grew up in Noo Yawk where the equivalent term is "tush", apparently a Hebrew/Yiddish loan word.

Lol, it is a slang term for the female genitalia - when I hear things like "He touched my fanny" "she needs a good kick in the fanny" or even simply "fannypack" I cannot help giggling - before I learned that it meant bum I was utterly baffled.
