I can't tell which fanny you mean unless you include a picture or link.  It could be any one of us. I do think you ought to get to know us better before calling us "fannies" though.

I think it's a slang word in all English-speaking countries. I can't imagine how any parents would name a girl that.

HR lover Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Sep. 2010 Posted: Sep. 10 2010, 03:09 Lol I thought it might have been a funny pseudonym of MO (hence the "fanny").

It is indeed, but it doesn't mean the same thing everywhere.  In America, fanny means ass.  In Britain, it refers to a more personal part of the female anatomy.

Most girls that were names Fanny were so named before the word took on those connotations.  I wonder if the infamous steamy novel Fanny By Gaslight was the cause, or if it was already in use as a slang term before that.....
