Good on you Gimmickgenius, we Brits need to stick up for the correct spelling of the English language, everything on here seems to be dictated by the Yanksâ way of doing and spelling.
TheWildSow says: BTW, donât wear your âfanny packâ in England or Australia!
May I ask you the question about âfanny pack.â What do you mean? I donât call that word for carrying pack around the waist. I usually called it âwaist pack.â Because âfannyâ is too feminine word. I donât like it so I called it waist pack that will be more appropriate word for the people who carrys the small pack around their waist.

But saying waist (âwasteâ) pack suggests something a colostomy patient would wear! The Brits might call it a âbum bagâ because both genders have bums. Only ladies have fannies, and -er- it means the bit in the FRONT (blush).
BTW, Wendolene (Ramsbottom???) Iâm not British but I lived and traveled there for 4 years. Loved it!
Thanks, Little Brother, I mean Gimmickgenius! I think in the Brit-English-speaking world, itâs a âbum bag.â Here in the Yank world, itâs a fanny pack. Belt bag? Hip pack? I do normally wear mine in the front, not over my (American) fanny
One of my favorite Brit writers, Ellis Peters, had a character named (letâs see if this gets thru the auto-censor!) âPussy.â Nothing dirty at all; she was a pre-teen tomboy whose given name was Catherine. Shortened to Cat, and nicknamed, well, what I said. I always LOLâd when she appeared in one of the Felse books.

What Iâve always found quite amusing is the way certain words that are quite innocent in America are curse words across the pond.
For example, if I were to post any of the late George Carlinâs immortal âseven wordsâ here, they would all show up as ( Bleeep )
But if I post THESE wordsâŠ
Bollocks
Bugger
They go through unfiltered
