Never use "fanny" in any English speaking country outside North
America. You'll be considered to be extremely coarse.

It has a meaning similar to "piece of a**" or "bearded clam"

Also napkin has a different meaning and is put on a fanny. Use
serviette in non-US restaurants or stores to avoid embarrassment.
