Attack on Saudi

Could you imagine the furore if someone said that to a classroom of school children nowadays?  😜

Interestingly, I should imagine that the word 'willy' would be quite acceptable.  I am sure I have heard the word fairly often.
On the other hand, 'fanny' might be regarded as impolite or even rude, perhaps because it is not nice to mention ladies' 'assets' in public.

This is true.  They both seem to be particularly unfortunate names to give to ones offspring.

(Is there an apostrophe missing on the "ones" in this context?  I can't make my mind up 🤷🏻�♂️)

It would cause confusion across the Atlantic too.

On reflection, I remember a certain Fanny Craddock.  A not indiscrete name in those days.
I'm sure that her parents were totally unaware of the use of her name in certain locations.

I think it's an old name no longer used in the UK or US for rather obvious reasons. It is still used by foreigners

I thought it was still used in Wales ... Myfanwy, or something like that.
