9 American Words That Have a Naughty Meaning in Britain

britishunderwearOy, mate. Have you ever gone to Britain and found out the awkward way that some words mean different things there? For example, if you called someone “spunky” across the pond, they’d look at you like you were batty (find out why below). Here are 9 American words that have a very different, very naughty meaning in Britain.

  1. Trump
    What it means in America: The potential next president. What it means in Britain: A fart. As Buzzfeed says, “American people entertaining the notion of ‘President Trump’ is akin to the next British prime minister being called David Fart.” A lot of people think Trump is full of hot air, so it’s actually not that absurd.
  2. Spunky
    What it means in America: Feisty; spirited; plucky. What it means in Britain: Covered in semen. So probably not a good idea to refer to your grandma as “spunky” there!
  3. Cop
    What it means in America: Police officer. What it means in Britain: To grope, i.e., “cop a feel” of a boob, a willy, or a bum.
  4. Randy
    What it means in America: A dude’s name. What it means in Britain: Extremely horny. Randy is randy, baby!
  5. Pants
    What it means in America: Trousers. What it means in Britain: Panties, i.e., knickers. So if someone yells on the street, “Put your pants on!” it has an even naughtier meaning.
  6. Fanny
    What it means in America: A butt or ass. What it means in Britain: Pussy.
  7. Pull
    What it means in America: The opposite of push. What it means in Britain: To kiss (or snog) a stranger.
  8. Knob
    What it means in America: A handle of a door or drawer. What it means in Britain: Cock or dick, as in “That guy in the speedo has a massive knob!”
  9. Muff
    What it means in America: Something warm you put over your ears. What it means in Britain: A woman’s pubes.

Are you randy for some fanny or knob? Come bring your spunky pants our way, mate!

NEWS: Fashion that will Tickle your Fancy…and your Fanny

We live in a time when fashion is fierce, and out of this world; from dresses made of meat, to platforms that look like that were taken straight from a Tim Burton movie. So, why not take advantage of the free spirited fashion of our time and create jewelry that can assist with your ‘O face’… getting your ‘swerve’ on solo, masturbation!

Crave, a San Francisco based start-up did just that! Crave created a line of jewelry called ‘foreplay jewelry’. Yes dreams DO come true, wearable sex toys that can be used discreetly in between meetings or whenever the opportunity arises. One of Crave’s erotic pieces is the Droplet, a 43” stunning stainless steel chain that can be donned around your neck while “tiny quiet motors deliver a subtle but insistent vibration along the leather loops”. Now that is statement jewelry!

Valentine’s day has passed but this type of jewelry seems like the year round gift, a crowd pleaser, so to speak. I’m usually not one to accessorize with loud jewelry but like the old saying goes, don’t knock it till you try it.
