UK Factoid of the Day

In the UK, what Americans call Fanny Packs are called Bum Packs/Bum Bags.

Now, you may be asking, why the hell did Laura just give me the British word for Fanny Pack? Who wears a Fanny Pack anymore? Well, first of all, you need to start following your fashion news, because then you would know that the Fanny Pack has been making a slow but steady comeback over the last few years.

But, the REAL reason I listed this little British-American language discrepancy is because, in the UK, the word fanny refers to a *cough* certain part of the *cough* female anatomy. You can thank me on your next trip to the UK when you want to complement someone on their ultra hip, just-off-the-runway Bum Bag without getting slapped in the face for yelling out "Nice Fanny!".
