* Used for a subtle joke in ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged''. Goku tells his friends that he's going to give some bad guys a good "fanny-whooping," adding that his wife doesn't like swearing, and is confused when Bulma tells him that 'butt' isn't a swear. In American English, 'fanny' means butt, but in British English, [[CountryMatters it does not]].
