Oh! Yeah! I am so in that boat! I go crazy when certain someones who have peanut butter and jam on their fingers open the fridge to get milk or other items and leave a goop infested trail on everything they touch. Thank goodness I am a biologist who can appreciate different "cultures" 'cause they show up everywhere in the fridge and other places. Fuzzy blue bread anyone?

Ummm...I'm thinking the problem isn't so much with "fanny" as it is with "riding". But I might be wrong on that one...
the combination of the two actually. It's a bit like the American woman walking into an Irish toy shop with her mind set on buying a large image of Walt Disney's favourite mouse and saying : 'I'd like a big Mickey'
If you tell someone here you the riding you've been doing is giving you a sore fanny, you'll be sure raise a few eyebrows
Great fun, this stuff that isn't necessarily in the average dictionary

Now, having looked up "fanny," I will still contend that a brisk posting trot, performed poorly, has done no favors to many a girl's.

Entirely possible, but still...I ask you--
Make me a list of the 5 or 6 words which have NOT been co-opted into off-color service by U.K. English (or any other english for that matter,) and I'll strive to compose all further remarks out of only the allowable list.

Given the fact that I'm not always one that thinks censorship is necessary, I'm thinking that your remarks...UK English approved or not...should remain as they are. I knew what you meant...and as you are alluding to, just about anything that is said can be construed into something off color. In other words, it would be rather sad if you limited your posts to only 5-6 words emm, and I won't stand for it
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece.

Now there is an impossible task.

Hey Emm - One of my habits is to carry broken egg shells from the stove to the garbage while dripping egg all over the floor. Is that worse than english muffin particles?
That's just NASTY!! Flydood!!! My kids do this too, and it drives me absolutely nutty. Why don't you put them into a bowl or something first? Why do you have to get the slimy ick stuff all over my clean floor?
Ew, ew, ew!!!!!
Lately I have been using a bowl but I used to just let the dog lick it up.
Stop pussy footing around with these risqué words, the lot of you.

He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

Ya know, as long as you use pasteurized eggs there really shouldn't be any cross-contamination or health concerns.
