It's slang though, the actual definition is the buttox. They were talking as if the English was bad.
"Fanny" is slang in America as well.... and as American English is just a warped bastardisation of the real British English language.... our slang terms overrule yours.....

Nice lol! 😉
Was just pointing out Juntai, that Fanny isnt used in the sense of buttocks by English people.
It's been used as a name and as slang for female genitals, but in England, no English people use that word to mean bum, lol.
Oh yeah - and Krypto eats Abomination. 🙂
Originally posted by ScooblessNo, it's not slang in America. The dictionary would have said such, but as you can see from the definition, it is not so.
