NOOO! Not Another One!!

I'm hearing this week it's 7,000,000,000.

Oops! That's just the current fannies.

 

That's good! Think of all the extra time we'd have and nothing to fill with if we weren't here! Geeks like myself might have to actually leave our keyboards, or worse...go outside!!

 

7 billion fannies world-wide? ... wow, talk about lerning sumpting on this site?

 

Thank God!

 

LOL. I still remember getting in trouble for using the word "fannie." My grandma would flip if she read this. Her and my grandpa are from Ireland and we lived with them when fanny/fannie (?) packs were popular. Needless to say I got into a lot of trouble.

Edit: It's a bad word to her. Meaning a female body part. So in the context of your sentence, how many were built. It's just humorous to me.

 

Just how did a fannie pack get it's name anyway. I've never seen one worn above the fannie, always in front. Shouldn't it be a belly pack?

 

I always wondered the same thing. Maybe someone from the UK area came up with the name. Seeing as it is more fitting from their perspective.
Over here fanny is the rear end, over there it isn't. Wikipedia time.

 

Quote from WIKI:

The name "fanny pack" is derived from the fact that they were traditionally worn facing the rear above the buttocks, for which "fanny" is a slang term in the United States. Despite the name, many do not wear fanny packs on their rear because they are easier to pick pocket and harder to access. In the United Kingdom and Anglophone Oceania, the term "bum bag" or "belt bag" is used, since the word "fanny" means vulva, rather than buttocks, in those countries.

 

I think belt bag is the answer. Forget Fannie, bum, arse etc.

 

I'm changing my name!
