F in for Fanny sucked dry by a leech.

I lol’d. Fanny means something different in the U.K. in the U.S. a Fanny is a bottom, in the U.K. it’s slang for a ladies genitalia. Lol.

I knew that, but didn’t think of it when I read this, and... oh my.

I’m not sure anyone uses “fanny” for butt any more in the U.S., except perhaps old ladies who are near death.
