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.

Nope, no apostrophe in ones in this context
Mine
Yours
Ours
Ones
His
Hers
Theirs

If you put an apostrophe at the end it indicates a missing "is" or "are" or "am"
So One's going on holiday
You're going on holiday
They're going on holiday
I'm getting bored with this!!!

Thanks Ruthio.

Is there ever a case for writing ones' ?

Thanks Ruthio.

Is there ever a case for 

I would've said no because One is always singular, but then I googled it!!
Turns out if it's Ones as in The Chosen Ones.....

• Plural possessive of a compound or specific group ending in "-ones": If you are referring to a group of people or things designated as plural "ones" who own something, the apostrophe goes after the s. For example: "The chosen ones' path was difficult" (the path belonging to the chosen ones).
