Now whether I am just old and out of touch or if this is just American slang I don't know. But I understand booty to mean a garment worn by infants on the foot! :) I can never tell from the context what the word means! is it a reference to part of a woman's anatomy or does it refer to a particular act... or is it a multi-purpose word...???? email me with answers if yr answer is too vile for young eyes! :) Dean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message thread: Dean: Question (18-Jun-1999 16:47:48) Emile: Well, here in N.

Re: Question Friday, 18-Jun-1999 23:17:13 24.129.57.122 writes: Yup, "booty" is slang for "butt" here (same thing as the old-fashioned term "fanny" here, which I *know* does not mean the same thing in the UK, don't know about NZ). Wayne also sometimes mentions wanting or getting some booty, which of course, refers to sex...you can see the connection there. If not, I'm not explaining it. :-) DFW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message thread: Dean: Question (18-Jun-1999 16:47:48) Emile: Well, here in N.

In NZ the slang term for the posterior is arse, but you wouldn't say "get some arse" for sex... and yes in NZ fanny would mean a different part of the anatomy than the bottom, a part peculiar only to women... anyway thanks for explaining this all to me. :) Dean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message thread: Dean: Question (18-Jun-1999 16:47:48) Emile: Well, here in N.

UK meaning of "booty" Saturday, 19-Jun-1999 05:58:41 195.92.194.78 writes: It doesn't refer to anything sexual here in Blighty - "booty" means money - a large quantity of it usually acquired by illegal or illicit means, such as in a robbery. Similar to "stash" or "swag". It is also a tiny item of footwear worn by a baby - a miniature boot - though I guess that expression is multi-national.
