Apparently, even Adam Sandler, a man who has built an entire comedy empire on his juvenile humor, can still be surprised by crudeness, it seems. In a video that’s now making the rounds online, George Clooney casually drops a linguistic bombshell on Sandler by explaining what the word “fanny” actually means in the UK. Sandler’s reaction is priceless, and the surprise on his face says it all.
Americans may associate the term “fanny” with something harmless, as George Clooney explained. It’s a silly word often used to describe a person's bottom, which is why we call small pouches that sit across your waist “fannypacks.” Apparently, through his marriage to Amal Clooney, George learned that the Brits interpret the word incredibly differently, and it’s actually super crude. Its use would be enough to get some gasps on British TV.
