Is that a gun in your mariconera, or are you just glad to see me?

Ok, this is my theory, and be warned, more potentially offensive verbiage below.

I believe the term "fanny pack" started in England.  On a trip to the UK I was told that over there, they call a woman's "front" her fanny.  Apparently it's an offensive term there, much like the American slang term that starts with "P" and to quote a rap song "is another way to call a cat or kitty."

think "pussy willow".....:laugh:

I always wondered why we called it a "fanny pack" here when it's worn in the front, but over here some people will refer to their rear ends as their "fanny".

This really makes me laugh, but I have a friend out in LA who refers to his bag as his "pussy pouch".

:laugh:

But it was originally meant to be worn on the bottom right? Thats why you guys call it a fanny pack and us a bum bag.

I suspect when they were first invented, they were worn in the back. Then people discovered how easily a skillful thief could open the zipper and steal your wallet, or whatever, especially in a crowd, so they started wearing them in front for security.
