Fanny means the ass in general, but no one says "fanny". We actually think that British people say "fanny" meaning ass, so we only say it that way to pretend to be British.

Fanny is also a very common insult in the UK, so is Bawbag in Scotland
vagina is known as a fud here xD

YES POUTINE ROCKS!! And of course I live in the province in which it is considered a cultural meal. >_< I remember once an American came to Knowlton (my hometown) and went to Valentines where my sister worked and ordered a poutine and then bitched at her when he got it because supposedly he didn't get what he ordered. Turns out that he thought that poutine was steak. It was hilarious.
