Just looking at this GIF makes me sad. Something about the shift from generation to generation is just depressing. |

Okay, we could call them that but we don't. A few reasons being.... A) We've always called them bum bags. That's what they are over here. It'd be like me saying "Hey, why do Americans call it a fanny pack? You should call them bum bags like us." B) Bum bags are a common thing and that's what they're commonly called. Fanny is considered somewhat of a swear word over here, so for someone to refer to them they'd have to swear (if they were called fanny packs). This doesn't work, especially if you were talking about them on TV or to a child. I'd call them "Vagina Packs". Just sayin'. |

It's just so fun. Do you American folk not say bum at all (other than another phrase for homeless people)? |

It sounds like a word a little kid might use when referring to his butt. |
