What's in your fanny pack?

[SpideyHulk24]

The American fanny.....Selina can discuss the British as she would be more of an expert than I would....

LOL!!!!!!

Anyway, guess it's safe to say, the name doesn't fit for either Americans or British...

Really Spidey.....I thought it was a strap that went round your hip and the bag hung infront of your fanny/*****!!! So is that the American fanny too? But if you don't call it a fanny - what nickname do you give it? I once went out with a Canadian and he was in hysterics because one of the guys whom I worked with was called Nigel!!! I expect you think John is a funny name too. In england fanny's sometimes are called Mary too. And like Highlander says - we have a bum bag - which doesn't usually hang at the back but at the front - actually that hangs over the fanny now I come to think of it.
So to clear this up......where does a fanny pack usually hang and how big is it and what does it look like. I assumed it was the name for an english bum bag - a small zipped holdall on a strap to go round the waist or hip. What's the difference between a fanny pack and a rucksack? or a fanny pack and a backpack?

Hey...I've been censored!! the ***** was another term for a cat!!! in case you were wondering.

OMG!! I never thought my innocent question would lead to censored responses!


Selina, over here, a fanny is located on the opposite side of what you folks consider a fanny. Both men and women have one. It is the part of your anatomy you sit on. Does that clear it up? I imagine if our fanny was the same as your fanny, I would have been censored too!

As Flyfly indicated, a fanny pack is strapped around the hip or waist and the bag part of it hangs either in front of you or to the side. I rarely see anyone actually wear one in the back (over the fanny) as it would likely be in the way when you sit down. The size of the bag varies, usually the size of a purse. A back pack is usually larger and is strapped over the shoulders and hangs down the back. I do not know what a ruck sack is. I hope that clears things up.

A bum bag?

A ruck sack is the same as a back pack and a bum bag is same as a fanny pack as we in uk call our behinds bums and in the states u call them fannys
