    How did Americans get fanny backwards but they wear fanny packs correctly?

      Only younger generations wear fanny packs “correctly”. They were originally a hip bag that stayed behind you, not something you wore in front of you. Because fanny was slang for ass in America.

      So younger generations wear them “wrong” in the sense that they were originally meant to be worn behind you. But “correctly” in the British sense.
