...let's call the whole thing off.
Apparently to British ears, the term "fannypack" sounds obscene. To my sensitive North American ears, "bumbag" sounds obsc...not right, anyways. My Quebecois coworker wears a black leather fannypack, if only he knew the awful truth.
The phrase i really, really want to steal from the Brits is "pants". Trousers are pants, so pants are something you wear beneath your pants-er, I mean, trousers. UNDERpants. I get it now. Some thing that is bad or ridiculous is pants.
I want to import that: "What? That is just PANTS! The most PANTS thing I ever heard! This place is the PANTS! Awwww, PANTS!
Let the PANTS begin!
Sincerely,
Mr. Pants
Never been to Spain.

Fannypacks/bumbags are both totally pants, no matter what. Some idiot in the higher echelons of the fashion world said, "Hey, let's see just how stupid these plebians really are: let's try to sell them on the concept of fannypacks again." Every day I am repeatedly horrified by sightings of Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana fannypacks on the streets, or rather, on the bums people downtown. No matter that they are more square & often clip onto a belt. THEY ARE STILL FANNYPACKS.
Pants.
Yeah! And what's with this whole business about wearing fannypacks around your neck? It just looks stoopid.
