Thread: Pea**** Scales

Wow How this thread has gotten off topic...
Fanny isn't a bad word in America, if it offends you, you need to explain it's meaning in the British vernacular to the moderators...
I'm sure they are going to try to refine the filter, so just hang in there. They wouldn't have put it up if members here hadn't made it a necessity.

On a side note, I'm working on getting them to change the ***** to Smurf and Smurfette.

so instead of seeing pea****, we'll see peasmurf
and those who insist on testing the moderators, will be allowed to tell them to go smurf themselves


Okay, Back on topic...
Back in the hay day of straight razors, there was a market in replacement razor handles.
A company such as sears couls also contact one of the makers, and order a shipment with their logo on it instead of the actual maker's logo. So if you buy a Sears Razor, it could very well be a Double Duck, or Dovo.
The peafowl handled razors were often made in the same manner, a company could simply order a batch of fancy handles, or an individual could purchase the handle and replace his broken or undesired scales with the fancy ones.
It's much the same as we have today with custom made scales, just on more of an industrial scale.

Fanny isnt offensive. Its rude I guess but I certainly dont take offense.

I guess it means the same as coochie. Does that explain it?

So next time you take your holidays in the UK dont talk too loudly about your 'fanny pack'. You get funny looks. (Here I think they are called bum-bags )

Britons and americans, two people separated by a common language!

bet there's not too many ladies named Fanny across the pond

Not these days, no. Before it got its current meaning there were a few in the victorian era. Quite a common name back them. It did continue for a while after as well. Think Fanny Craddock- she was britains first TV chef- taught you how to cook with rations during the war.

Nowadays nobody is called Fanny. Funny that.

Sorry for the
