Baseball play by play announcers should NOT be entitled to use the word "fanny"
As in, "That swing twisted him all up and he landed on his fanny"

That is all.

4. Put it this way:

8. Um...care to rephrase that?


It doesn't sound quite right. :P

5. Exactly

Or, as certain Antipodeans would have it, a front bum. :o

Or 'growler.' :D (I kinda like that one: oooooooooo...scary! Just pray it doesn't bite.)
