TV Host loses it when a name in a quiz question is revealed

Bradley Walsh during "The Chase" suffering from uncontrollable laughter at one of the in game questions...

Or Butt Smeller if you happen to be American


Incorrect, fanny (in the UK and Australia) is a euphimism for vagina as correctly noted by bareboards2.

It's why we colonials get such a laugh out of yanks and their fanny packs. ; )

So how is Jinx incorrect? In the US, fanny is a kid-friendly word for butt, exactly as he/she said.

Kofisays...

Because the show was made in Britain. Context does matter.

"Fanny means butt to Americans" remains true no matter where this video was made.

Ok, granted. But the reason it was so funny to the presenter, and therefore funny to us, that is it means "vag smeller" which is infinitely more funny than "butt smeller".

Americans can be such parochial solipsistic homunculai.

You're the one who's bent out of shape because someone pointed out that a word means something different to people of another culture. Reconsider your parochial solipsistic comment, black pot.

Was that the Trunchbull? And to wade into the argument, it makes fuck all difference what Americans use fanny for, the point of the video is to show his reaction and it certainly didn't happen because it inferred bum sniffing, did it

Probably because the show isn't in the US... (there's this quirky concept, it's called 'the rest of the world').

He's changing the meaning of the word. If it were a US show with a US compare, then butt smeller would be contextually what the guy is laughing at. It's not. And context is everything.

Side note, this isn't doing a lot to diabuse the perception that American's are so self centered that everything else on the planet has to conform to their world view... = P

Then I suggest you check yourself for confirmation bias. I'm not suggesting that either way is right or wrong. I was just saying that Jinx pointed out that fanny means butt in US English and was told he/she was wrong. All I said was that Jinx was correct in his/her statement. Why the attacks on me? If you've got an issue with anyone bringing up US English, maybe you should attack Jinx.

Eh, fair point, although my first post was actually in reply to Jinx... ; P

I should have phrased it better, I didn't mean to infer that fanny wasn't US slang for butt. =)

Perhaps I shouldn't have commented in the first place, but I figured it's a public thread and all, so why not?

Appreciate the level reply.

Nah, s'all good, the critique was appropriate and in review I jumped the gun a bit.
