To think that "fanny" is not an offensive name for female genitalia ?

My ex was taken aside by our 3.5 yr old daughter's nursery key worker today, and told that they didn't like her using the word fanny, and that she should use the word noony instead?!

Is there a difference in offensiveness levels between these 2 names? Always thought that fanny was just a harmless kids name for vagina/vulva whatever, am I wrong?

Fanny is definitely a swear type word in west Scotland. I'd be shocked to her a small child say it (and I'm not that shockable)

However my favourite insult/greeting of all time is Haw fannybaws!

In fact, if I could only be arsed, id be name changing.

I think parents and kids can call it what ever they like including the more traditional obvious names
