what's in a name?
I don’t want to be unduly vulgar, but this is particularly funny to us Brits (well at least sewer rats like me) as “fanny” has a different connotation here.
“Fanny Batter” being a lady’s erm, front bottom’s own natural, organic moisturiser.
I have never heard the phrase "Fanny Batter" ha ha ha!! I've heard other just as erm tasteful?! phrases!! Thanks for your comment & email mate. Much appreciated x

Ahh...I had NO IDEA that's what it meant to you Brits!!! That's funny!
Hope you know I will be depending on you now to do some Brit-American translating for me, okay???
Thanks! ;)
Funny, she doesn't look angry in the picture...
LMFO!!
Fanny Batter - learn sumpin' new every day!
Whether it means the bottom in the front or the back - it's still a funny name! That poor woman had cruel, cruel parents.
Isn't it hilarious when American tourists wear fanny packs around London? Fanny packs - cracks me up. You put your what in your where???
I learned new terminology today! Thus, making it a successful day...
I agree with Melissa, such cruel parents to even name their kid Fanny. lol What a last name though...hehe
Thanks for the laugh!
I always thought Fanny was a nickname for Frances, hence anyone who CHOSE to go by the nickname did so at their own risk....

Ha Hahhh... my Aunt's nickname was Fanny Organstool I love the british terms!
It's just...funny, it makes me giggle, in the same way someone accidentally breaking wind in the office does - suddenly I'm six years old again.
Quite right too Sandra, my Grandmother was called Frances, and we used to call her Nanny Fanny, and thought nothing of it.
