What does FANNY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americaninformal
An informal North American word for the buttocks, the part of the body a person sits on.
Fanny is a mild, everyday North American word for the buttocks, common enough to appear in casual conversation without sounding rude or clinical. The word is best known today through the fanny pack, a small pouch worn around the waist that became a fashion staple decades ago and has cycled in and out of style ever since. Parents often use fanny with young children as a gentler alternative to more anatomical terms. Outside North America, particularly in British English, the same word carries a very different and more explicit meaning, so travellers should be aware it does not translate the same way across dialects.
