I was gonna make a funny joke about how in the UK they are actually called c-word packs because the c-word in the UK doesnt have the same connotation as it does here

i think the ironic yet appropriate context makes it a legitimate used of the word but, just to be safe, have this watered-down version with an uninteresting explanation

oval office packs

Why would you wear a fanny pack anywhere but over your fanny (vagina/mangina), that's why it's called that.

In the UK, is there a way to use the word “fanny” without sounding like a Dickensian vagrant or village drunk?

See, in my mind, “fanny” was always a butt. So I was always wondering why people were wearing them on the front. It always seemed to me like they’d work better worn with the back on the small of the back. More out of the way, and not bouncing up and down on my cock all day while I walk through the church carnival.

yeah, in scotland at least it's a pretty common mild insult.

like, "that guy's a pure fanny, he posts in GBS"

also sometimes actually used to refer to a womans vagina.

like, "she can fit a two litre bottle of bru up her fanny! amazing!"

It's apparently also really offensive to use the term "spaz" because for some reason over there it's heavily and specifically associated with epilepsy

Yeah, we really frown on hating the disabled unless you're a Tory MP.

Highly illegal. You can't even say "hero" anymore, and "mutant" is considered rude towards the disabled.

It's odd how hating the disabled is taboo in England when british people will eagerly hate every other demographic. Did this become taboo because an inbred royal had a disability or something?

blue peter is a very long running kids show that in the 80s had a person with spastic cerebral palsy feature heavily (no idea where you got epilepsy from). he had pretty severe speech impediments and from that moment "spastic" was embedded in schoolyards nationwide as a sick burn

was there a red nose campaign to raise funds for spastic research, possibly headed by Saville?

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
Prostitution is legal in Great Britain so you could I guess buy a pack of fannys, however pimping isn't so the prostitutes would have to be organized into a workers collective or something.
