All those little cross-cultural misunderstandings are what make the world go around (often at dizzying speed). When Americans call their bum-bags 'fanny packs' it cracks me up. I love the ashen look on the faces of the people who turn quietly to each other and whisper, 'Did she just say what I thought she said?'
American ladies please note. Your bum is your butt. It's what you sit upon and strap a 'bum bag' to. Your fanny is situated between your legs.
