I don't know of any other meaning to fanny other than a cute name for one's butt. I'm from the Carolina coast; I love the beach. And, in the summer, I often have a "sandy fanny." I don't mean to offend anyone.
Oh, I'm not offended in the slightest! But juxtaposed with the whole 'OMG Porn!!!' thing it cracked me up.
(in case you're curious, in the UK 'fanny' is a slang term for, ah, girly parts. It's a little less crude than p*ssy, but considerably more crude than 'butt'. Um. Sorry - apparently I have the sense of humour of a twelve year old boy, but paired up with your tagline of 'Less Juicy"...well, there's a lot of giggling going on right here. Sorry! But all in good fun, you know?

broadabroad, you'll appreciate this. I was working with one of my students and the physical therapist came in; she's from the UK. She started to hug the kid, and I told her to wait because she was "boogery" (meaning, she had some gross stuff coming out of her nose). The look of shock on her face was priceless when I realized what she thought I'd said. I quickly explained that I didn't mean the "b" word she was thinking of, and told her what a booger was in the US.
Ha! Fantastic!
Oh, man - and there was some movie I once caught about US teenagers in, er, probably the 50s? And there's a scene where the cool kids have paired up and are dancing, and this shy girl and this shy guy are still sitting at the table and they have this whole stilted conversation about dancing. I nearly choked TO DEATH laughing at dialogue that ran something like this:
"So, do you shag?"
"Well, no, I've never tried it. It looks like fun, though."
"Yeah, my friend LOVES to shag. She's always shagging. She's so confident, she'll do it with anyone, even total strangers! I wish I was as good at it as she is - I'm just nervous that I'd get it wrong, you know?"
"Hey, you don't know until you try! It could be fun!"
etc etc etc. Man, I thought I was going to
rupture something cackling at them!
