Can we use vulgarities in a post? I don't mean like the N word or something. I was going to ask in my sub what are some slur/or common speech that americans don't get bu brits do?

    Is it true that fanny is vulgar to you guys in the way cunt is to us?

    Here in the US it’s an older way to refer to a butt and is seen as more polite than saying “ass”, and we also have a pouch we call a fanny pack. I’ve heard that’s quite humourous to say elsewhere.

    Fanny pack:

      its not vulgar or offensive. its just confusing.

      fanny in the UK is used to refer to the vagina. But not as “offensive” as cunt.

      fanny in america means bum, i think?

      either way - fanny isnt really vulgar or rude. just used differently

    FUCK IT. I always wanted to ask what does the Cunt word mean in Britain? Would it be the same thing as calling someone a pussy? Got any other vulgarities or words that are different from america?

      Pretty much? its just a “harsher” insult/offensive word. It has a meaning in the dictionary as vagina but I dont think its in peoples mind when they use it.

      imo its used like calling someone an asshole/dick head whatever, just with more “vulgarity”

  I swear regularly and Im really trying not to but it comes out. That being said each community has its own guidlines but if they don’t put something about no vulgarity in the right had side bar then they should expect some.
