OK, I'll tell you. Those of our readers who hail from Britain and
Australia whose sensibilities might be offended should stop reading
this message now and not scroll downward.
























They're called "fanny packs."

You see, in the US, the word "ass," when used to refer a part 
of the human body is considered mildly vulgar. But "fanny" doesn't 
have the connotations it does in other countries, and so is used 
as a EUPHEMISM for that word in polite company.
