Fanny
The term 'fanny' has varying meanings depending on regional dialect. In British English, and in some Commonwealth countries, 'fanny' primarily refers to the **buttocks** or the **posterior**. This usage is generally considered non-offensive, although it might be seen as informal. In American English, however, 'fanny' is more commonly associated with the female genitalia and can be considered a vulgar or offensive term. It is crucial to be aware of these differences to avoid miscommunication or causing offense. In some very old usages, the term can sometimes refer to the vulva, regardless of location.
