Can "Yucca" be a English name?
Janet Baraclough wrote in
: The message from Persephone contains these words: Hah! Gotta share this story. I was volunteering at an elementary school, helping the kids, mostly Hispanic, some of them disadvantaged due to not much English at home. Was reading a story about how some pirates ran off with their booty, when the whole classroom erupted in giggles. Teacher kindly explained alternative meaning of "booty" Just to add to your education.. In Britain, every male and female has a "fanny" (which is also a girl's name). It does not mean the same area of the anatomy it does in America. :-) Janet. Really, what does it mean then? Fanny means butt/buttocks/ass as far as I always understood it. (And three out of four of my grandparents were from the UK.) If there's another meaning for it in America, I don't know it. |
