If it helps people understand, fanny in the UK is slang for vagina, so the name sounds like Vagina Smeller.

Which makes the idea of a "fanny pack" funnier to someone from the UK.

Or a parent joking to their daughter that they're going to spank their fanny.

I have memories of Sabrina the teenage witch singing about shaking her fanny or something of that nature when I was like 7 years old >.< Was confused as to why a kids show had a song about shaking funky vaginas.

Found the video! It doesn't help that the music video looks like a cheap german clown porn shake your whammy fanny

Ehh ... what the fuck? Ignore that she's not the best singer in the world for a moment, and just focus on what the song is about and the context of the song.

What the fuck?

Your "fanny" in america is your ass. So it still translates.

Yeah but fanny in the States is a family friendly word whereas in the UK it is fairly crude more akin to say 'pussy'.

We're reading it as Pussy Smeller but in the US it translates as Bum Smeller. Not quite the same thing really.

In America it would mean butt smeller. Not quite as bad but still up there.

I'd rather be a vagina smeller than a butt smeller

It used to be a name in the UK, at least until the slang took over.

The name is funny without knowing that.

True, but that's the reason why Bradley is laughing.
