More description here on the american usage of the word fanny. I've been having a discussion on and off with some Irish friends about the "fanny"

In the states a fanny, as we already know, means ass, but it's more of a nice way to say ass, like a little old lady would use the word Fanny to refer to someone's ass rather than saying ass, or butt.
Yes, but in the UK, fanny (when spelt differently) can mean the whole reverse of ass.
Heard it means "vagina" in the commonwealth nations.--sin-man 09:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
That would be what "whole reverse" indicates. Also, "hip pack" is not a Canadian term, it's from the UK.
Since when is a vagina a reverse ass? :-D Tristanb 02:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Try checking the "Spotted Hyena" article. Other than that, I have no freaking clue. Evernut 23:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gun

Is it really that common to conceal a gun inside a fanny pack, like the article states? --BennyD 05:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

urban legend imo.--sin-man 09:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Did a big clean up as the previous entry sounded more like an essay and less like an encyclopedia article. Excellent work with all the information. Pnkrockr 18:25, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

You failed to notice that it was a copyvio: a dump from a blog. Reverted. `'mikkanarxi 22:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This article is packed with weasel words eg. "most people" etc. thus rendering the article unprofessional and very unwiki. Belt bags shall be described in more details, focusing different fabric, zip solutions, pocket layout etc. Dubious fashion references shall be omitted from a cyclopedia article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.56.231.3 (talk) 15:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

I uploaded two images to commons: fannypack1a.jpg and fannypack2a.jpg. I added 1a to this article because I like it better. (You can check the two images and compare). The other was a bit closer but had cropping problems. I've removed the reqphoto tag. I can rephoto if requested but this is the only fannypack I have to photo. RJFJR 04:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] German Junkie Pack?!?

It isn't called Junkie Pack. So I removed it. If someone has a reference to why it is called like that I'm more than happy to know ;-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.166.137.8 (talk) 14:26, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

It's called Body Bag in Germany. Yeah, that's right. --Stesch (talk) 20:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The In-Laws

Does anyone want to mention the fanny pack humor in The In-Laws (or whatever that Michael Douglas film was called)? Douglas's character teases his daughter-in-law-to-be's father about wearing a fanny pack, but the father has the last laugh because at the end he pulls something that saves them out of it.:-D Douglas tells him he'll never tease him about his fanny pack again.
