Help[Opinions] Re: Fanny
in reply to a message by Lily8
It's NOT USABLE!!! It's forever tainted by the slang word for the butt (or vagina). Some names just drop out of use because of a vulgar meaning and can never come back.

I never heard of fanny being used for vagina at all. A rear end yes though. So there are a lot of other names used as slang terms and they are still used. If people didn't make such a big deal out of it I would say it would still be usable.

It is slang for vagina in Britain, I'm not sure about in other countries though.

Doesn't stop people from using Dick, does it?

I've been under the firm impression that people HAVE stopped using Dick. My uncle's name was Richard, nicknamed Dick, but he was born in 1929 and passed away a few years ago. And there was Richard "Dick" Nixon, born in 1913 and now gone. Movie star Dick Powell, born in 1904 and long gone, TV star Dick Van Dyke, born in 1925, and Richard "Dick" Cheney, born in 1941. Notice they're all old or dead. They were given the name before the word "dick" acquired its slang meaning. I think Dick is every bit as usable as Fanny these days---meaning, not at all.
