fanny

Backside, informally speaking

Fanny means different things depending on where you are.

In American English, fanny is a mild, almost childish term for the buttocks: She fell on her fanny.

In British English, fanny is vulgar slang for the female genitals—not a word to use casually.

This regional split makes fanny a minefield for travelers: a fanny pack in America is a bum bag in Britain for good reason.
