I found this community is highly interesting

? There have been lots of people named Fanny. Is there something amusing about the name Chmelar?

Pretty sure it's funnier in England.

Pretty sure it's funnier in England.

Fanny, or Chmelar? Fanny has the same additional meaning here, but somehow it's not considered that funny (I guess because probably only a grandmother would use it). So I guess you're right!

[trurl]

Does it, if you're from New York? (Remember over there it doesn't mean "butt") Pussy Galore from Goldfinger is pretty funny, but only on about a 2nd grade level. Yet, most of us have a little 2nd grade in us still... .

JKL I'm sure you're pulling our chains, I can't believe you're being serious or maybe you honestly don't know that her surname is pronounced schmeller - fanny smeller? get it?

Over here:
Fanny (UK) = Pussy (US)
Backside (UK) = Fanny (US) - mild
Arse (UK) = Ass (US) - strong
Pussy (UK) = Cat (US)..Though I'm sure you call cats pussies as well.

[JKL2000]

Fanny does mean "butt" here, but in such an almost polite way that it loses any impact. It's about equivalent to "derriere." Being named Dick is funnier than being named Fanny.

Some of us more than a little.

So?

Cunt is just a bad word anywhere though.

Fanny does mean "butt" here,

eeerrr...I know, that's why I wrote Backside (UK) = Fanny (US) - mild. If indeed you were replying to me.

[Garyhead]

Thanks PeterG. I'm in the US and I didn't get it until you clarified....

AND I've always maintained a little 2nd Grade in me......good times (& Sgt. Peppers was released that year too)

[PeterG]

Cunt is just a bad word anywhere though.

It has totally lost the power it had though in the UK, even as late as the 90s. Recently Micky Flanagan was saying it on the BBC as part of his standup. But when I was a kid you could get away with the F word but the C word was so far beyond acceptance that you didn't even think about it.

well only if you like beer ...in translation it means "Hop farmer"

[headcrash]

Thanks a lot for hijacking this thread, you bastids...
I don't know about you, but I find this community extremely interesting when I'm high.

Seriously, this woman had to be the worst spammer ever. Who comes to a music forum full of predominantly male (thank god though for the women we do have) mostly boomer age music fans to sell clothing for Muslems? I mean, how little examination would it take to realize that the target demographic was damn sure not here. We might have a few members of that faith but they sure as hell aren't here to shop.

Get it - didn't know the last name was pronounced that way!

One of the funniest moments in college was when a friend and I were sitting around trying to think of funny Bond Girl names. My friend came up with Cuntlips Tightly, and we laughed about that. Then he said "No, wait, forget about Cuntlips Tightly. Pussy Fitzsnuggly."

Good times...

[wideopenears]

Hey Jerjo, I always wear a burka when I'm listening to my Prog....in fact, I have little earholes for the headphones, with flaps and stuff....and underneath, nothing at all!!

You should try it. Total Musical Immersion.....

[JKL2000]

I'm wearing nothing but a berka...

[trurl]

(thank god though for the women we do have)

Yeah, was just thinking I've done my little part to run the last ones off...

[PeterG]

Apart from great figures, Bond girls had great names & greqt dialogue

The big busted Plenty O'Toole says to James: "My name's Plenty"
Bond (Connery) looking at her ample bosom drawls "ah of courshhh it issh"
Plenty then says "Plenty O'Toole"
Bond again admires her figure and delivers the killer line "Named after your father no doubt"

Yeah, I've sort of noticed the few PE'ettes have disappeared... Probably the intricacies of the PE3.0 interface were over their heads. Wait, Rarebird has stood the test! Yay!

I think some of the ladies left town after the Prog Babes thread imploded. Rarebird is still here, Forever Autumn, Jen, Uschi, and prolly a few others that I am just not thinking of at this second

[JKL2000]

I don't even remember what happened with the Prog Babes thread.
