... And this just goes to show the differences between cultures.

Fanny has quite a different meaning down under.

From the slang section of the Macquarie Dictionary:

fanny
noun 1. the vagina or vulva; the female genitals. 2. Chiefly US the buttocks; the arse. [19thC British slang, a use of the female name Fanny; perhaps influenced by the famous erotic novel Fanny Hill (i.e. John Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure 1749)]

A quick search for "thong" at Nashbar turned up nada. Must be a German thing. Just where would one put a chamois? :p

1. female genitals.
2. Used to describe someone messing around. As in, "stop fannying about and get a move on".

P.S. Of course England will beat Brazil Rich, 3-1!! :)

Sorry Mike, I don't buy it!

No amount of cycling will ever get my butt to look like that!

Mmmmm, in the English language world (only some 800m of us) that header would have been removed, however I guess as this in an American language site (only 200m of them) the moderators will let it go.

Now I wonder what harmless English English language would get supressed by an English American moderator ?

'Crock' for starters ?

I don't think cycling had anything to do with her ... "rear" looking like that. But I do think the thong helps quite a bit. :beer:

I don’t know about you, but thongs are ugly. Leave something to the imagination, thank you....

That's a G-string Joe Gardner. Thongs are different and a lot more sexier. :D

Ya, I kinda wish she wasn't wearing one too. It gets in the way of my imagination as well.

How many of you would like to see more of that saddle?:love: Now that looks comfortable.
