do you wear a fanny pack?

February 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Tom Mangan started quite the lively discussion in the comments on his Two-Heel Drive blog.

Don’t use the term “fanny pack” in the UK, or “Down Under”. The word “fanny” is rude. (As is the word “root”.)

Don’t use the unfortunate term “waist pack” either, or I’ll laugh at you.

Bum bag? (That may be worse.)

Hip belt? Hip pack? Waist pack?

I wear one every day. And often two while hiking.

Today I’m wearing the $15 MEC Travel Pocket Waist Pack. (Don’t laugh at me.)
