HelpRe: Fanny
in reply to a message by Perrine
Fanny used to be very common in the US, but that was a hundred years or so ago. Fanny as a slang for buttocks is not vulgar the way the British vagina slang is; it's more like something your grandmother would say. "Sit your fanny down and be quiet" or "He slippd on the banana peel and went down right on his fanny" rather than "woo-ee, wat a big fat fanny!"
It's not used all that much as slang here, having been mostly replaced by butt, but it is still well-known. So no, Fanny isn't usable unless you like endless butt jokes and don't plan on your kid minding them.
No, I don't like it. Francesca and Stephanie are too nice to be dumbed-down to Fanny, and with Stephanie it feels forced.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
