I hope it's not Beth's unwarranted praise that's making me post
excessively tonight. But I need an answer to this question
urgently.
Believe it or not, I have a comment under consideration in a
psychological journal which uses the phrase "get off your fanny".
A reviewer has commented "the author might care to note that the
term "fanny" is slang for vagina in some English speaking
countries".
Really? In my country, it refers to a totally different part of
the anatomy. Can anyone confirm this, and tell me in which
countries this is common?
(Note: this is a serious question and I don't want to talk about
keeping peckers up either.)
