fanny

here it means the ass. 'she has a nice fanny'

it means something else to you guys from what i understand. lol

actually that is a term that older Americans (baby boomers, etc) use   

the first time I heard a young person use the term was on The InBetweeners  (Simon was trying to talk "dirty" to Tara)
