what is a fanny pack called in britain?
bum bag
a fanny pack or belt bag or belly bag (american english), bum bag (british english) is a small fabric pouch worn by use of a strap above the hips around the waist that is secured usually with some sort of buckle. the straps sometimes have tri-glide slides, making them able to be adjusted to fit. the american and british names derive from the fact that they are often worn with the pouch above the buttocks, for which "fanny" and "bum" are the slang terms in each country respectively, although they may also be worn with the pouch at the front. the british and irish usage of "fanny" is vulgar slang for the labia, so the name "fanny pack" is rarely used in britain and the republic of ireland.
fanny pack
in other cultures they are known as banana bags (in france), geebags (in the republic of ireland) and kidney bags (in spain), while in italy is called the "marsupio", from the marsupium. variations include the wristpack, which is essentially a fanny pack for the wrist.
