Oh boy! As we were finishing up the Bridgeclimb I was having trouble with my utility belt as it kept slipping down. I commented something about "this darn 'fannypack' keeps slipping. Our young lady guide looked a bit startled at me and the British fellow behind me said something like: "I think he means his utility belt." So when I had a chance to ask a friend about this comment I learned that "FANNY" is not a word used in polite society in the British Commonwealth. Enough said!!!!!

ehmmmm most countries around the world have the same meaning of the word fanny. DOn't worry you won't offend anyone but it is very very funny to hear American / Canadian people talking about their fanny pack | deecat Sun Oct 16, 2005 23:45 UTC
Mart, I actually LOL at the "fannypack" story. Your description of your bridge climb was just fabulous, and, I agree that you are a brave soul, indeed! | CdnJane Thu Jun 30, 2005 02:39 UTC
You're a brave soul, Mart. No way was I going to spend money to climb waaaay up there!!! And from Circular Quay... when you look up, people on the bridge get smaller and smaller!!!! | jenp057 Sat Feb 26, 2005 12:35 UTC
Heh, the "utility belt" confusion happened to me as well when I was in England. Embarassing! |
