I have this mental image of Jess typing on the computer with one hand and holding the telephone in the other one.
I think she's probably a multitasker. :P ... :)

Good Lord. That's not what it means here. haha
It means butt, or ass, or bootie. It's the backside of your frontside. :)
Your boo-tay!

Nope! it definitely does not mean "boo-tay" in Australia! Closer to the "c" word, actually! Or, if you're French, "sunt" - with a cedilla! 8)
Don't feel bad, David. We use words in Australia that may not have an agreeable meaning in the US. For example, I recently mentioned that Matthew had visited his "attorney." The word "attorney" is not in common usage in Australia. We call a legal advisor a "solicitor"! So I had to deliberately adjust my English usage so that my US friends would know what I was saying. I'm sure it would have sounded strange to you if I'd said, "Matthew is visiting a solicitor." To an Australian, however, it wouldn't sound at all unusual. Same language, different usage . . . :)

We even have a candy company here in the US called "Fanny Mae"!
(I won't buy that candy anymore now) :P

Yeah, you would definately raise a few eyebrows if you said that in this country. :D
