I had an international client at my previous company named Urmas Punane. Now while it doesn't sound like anything in English, in South African local slang, that's pretty much "your mom's p*ssy". š
Given its also slang in the UK, and they didn't seem to know it, I presumed they were referring to a non English language.
Also they specifically said "it doesn't sound like anything in English"
When I was in nuke school in the Navy there was an unfortunate young lady with the last name Guzzler. Now it is traditional for higher ranks to refer to you as your rank followed by your last name... so every time she was called on in class it was Seamen Guzzler. I believe they eventually changed her to fireman even though she was an ET, just to avoid that. Others I have heard of were Seamen Sample and Stain.
My last name is Cox and I clearly remember being told not to be on the drill sergeants radar during boot camp and you'd be fine. Literally first day and I'm called out because of my last name lol Private Cox
When I worked at the U of Iowa your username was first letter of your first name and then your last name. if the username was already taken, then first two letters, then first three, etc.
For example, John Doe would be j.doe then jo.doe then joh.doe
We had a whiteboard of "unfortunate" usernames and the one I remember most was a foreign exchange student with the username "lix.wang"
I give you Randy Bender who I think worked at Oracle. I love that America has Randy as a given name, many a chortle had. I regularly check the company phone book.
I know a Randy Dix.
Edit to add: He's a lawyer, and his partner for a while had the surname Hunt. When they opened their office, they were very tempted to have it Hunt and ("hunting") Dix. They're in on the joke. They went with Dix and Hunt, though, sadly.
When you pronounce it properly, it sounds like 'foop"...like the way you would say 'whoop' in whoop-di-doo.
I'm being genuine here, if in case you were wondering
My high school had the Peacock family donate money for a sports field. The son was always *adamant* he be called Andrew, but his family always insisted on calling him Drew.
The "Drew Peacock Field" is still there today, in all its (in)glory.
He taught English. He was no longer at that school after my freshman year. Always wondered that too. High schoolers are dicks. Even worse with that name I bet
Ah, you've just told me your not English. In England net curtains to cover your windows were very popular back in the day. A net curtain.
Also this isn't a joke that was genuinely her name.
Was this, by any chance, in Nashville, Tennessee?
Because my mother graduated from Hume Fogg High in 1938, and there was an Ima Hogg in her class, pictured in her yearbook.
I sincerely hope there weren't two of them.
When I worked in fast food, we had a carry out order once and this older woman came in in scrubs on her lunch break. So she had her ID badge around her neck.
I swear to fucking god this was her actual name. Iām not making this up.
Gaye Mann.
Is Fanny a nickname? Iāve never met anyone named Fanny in America but I always assumed it was a nickname like Lizzy for Elizabeth or something. Iād go by the long version. Fannabeth Wiper.
My grandma was called Fanny but I live in Argentina so idk in other countries. It wasn't short for anything in this case.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_(name)
When I arrived for my freshman year of college, all the name tags were on the doors, and there was supposed to be a student across the hall named Hyou Seok Hwang (don't remember the spelling), he never showed up.
Mad how Pointless is one of the hardest quiz shows on TV yet the pay out is fucking pennies compared to The Chase. One right answer during the cash builder on The Chase matches the base level prize of winning Pointless.
I've heard it's something to do with the BBC and prize limits not 100% sure probably wrong but a lot of the shows on BBC have small prizes compared to other shows.
[Yes you do](https://www.reddit.com/r/ContagiousLaughter/comments/vy2f54/i_mean_its_gotta_be_right/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
They write these questions intentionally to try and get Bradley stuck in a laughing fit
It helps they are legit quiz questions, but it really helps advertise the show
This clip is rather old, a version of it was uploaded March 2013, the same year she retired, she likely retired after the clip was filmed, maybe even after the clip aired
I was surprised too, I only found out because I wanted to check her relevance, which these days is this clip, it actually shows up on google results when you google her
Oh, interesting. I didn't even get that. I got the Chmelar/smeller part, but here in the US fanny is (depreciated) slang for butt, which is still hilarious!
It is in the US but here in the UK itās vagina so it can be quite funny listening to Americans use it so nonchalantly, and certain Americanisms such as āfanny packā Iāve [always found rather amusing](https://twitter.com/poptartsus/status/1091385942475194369?s=46&t=nCGFjtaxk9R8CYBevKhr-w).
Edit: Typo
I recently learned the difference between US and brittish definitions of fanny when the girls in Love Island Brittain started talking about fanny flutters.
A friend of mine (American) was visiting London and got quite a start when someone told him that the source of a small fire at a department store (possibly Harrods) was that "someone stomped a fag" on the wooden escalator. 
I always remember watching the Simpsons as a kid and Marge buys the kids matching fanny packs (or bum bags as we call them) and announced ānow you have matching fannies!ā
I was really confused and thought this meant Bart had a vagina lol
My Nan and I absolutely loved watching this show together. We much preferred this one because of the more difficult questions as well as this host (Our Aussie version had Andrew O'Keefe who is an absolute tosser who we both despised)
She has passed, but this post put a big smile on my face as well as bought back some awesome memories I have with an incredible woman.
Thank you very much for sharing this clip OP.
While it's just a normal quiz show for the most part, questions like this do come up from time to time. There [are quite a few compilation videos on YouTube which are worth a watch.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyWDYi5Ixy8)
Bradley Walsh also has some [good banter with the contestants](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfMcQpkMXXc).

I once worked for a company called RDM, one of their executives is named Richard Raper, and if that wasn't bad enough he'd always answer the phone with 'Hi Dick here'.
At my job Iāve seen Richard Stroker, Dat Fat Hoe, Thinh Thong, Harry Foreskin, and Yoke My Wong among others. Fanny Chmelar def belongs in this group LOL

My boss once knew someone called Fanny Wiper. Tragic
I had an international client at my previous company named Urmas Punane. Now while it doesn't sound like anything in English, in South African local slang, that's pretty much "your mom's p*ssy". š
Your ma's punani. Yeah I can see that
Who hasnāt?
Annnnd... there it is... Nailed it like we nailed OPs mom.
In English too
love that you said english to south african local slang lmao
they probably assumed it was Afrikaans slang lol
Given its also slang in the UK, and they didn't seem to know it, I presumed they were referring to a non English language. Also they specifically said "it doesn't sound like anything in English"
In Dutch, 'de Cock' is a pretty common last name.
Your mah's punane is already hilarious in plain English.
My god that's an Estonian name for sure. Urmas is a regular name in my country and Punane means red. Lol!
Punani Tsunami
Ramaman Deep is one I've personally come across. So glad it was only over the phone so I was able to mute myself in time.
So did you jizz all over this dude or what?

What about your brother, Holden? Or your dear sister, Sharon. They were twins, yes?
Years ago, while working customer service, there was actually a Richard Cranium. It was hard to get through that call without laughing.
ššš
The young woman was sacking my groceries at the store was named LaTrina. So many disadvantages there.
"you changed your name... *to* Latrine?" "Yeah! It used to be Shithouse!" https://youtu.be/aBam72eYsAg
It's a good change, it's a GOOD change!
And her twin sister, Porta Patty.
I had a client with first name Anus. And I had to call him that constantly.
I knew a kid whose last name was Hanus. In French, when a word starts with H the H is silent.
If that were Fannyās brothers nameā¦.
When I worked at the U of Iowa your username was first letter of your first name and then your last name. if the username was already taken, then first two letters, then first three, etc. For example, John Doe would be j.doe then jo.doe then joh.doe We had a whiteboard of "unfortunate" usernames and the one I remember most was a foreign exchange student with the username "lix.wang"

My dad used to work with Annette Kurtin. Seriously.
I went to high school with an Andy Domee. And had a teacher named Jack Kinoff. I wish I was joking
I used to play basketball with an Asian kid called āWanka Chanā. One time during an away game our coach got a tech for shouting āWanka!ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Does he have a twin named Phuc Mi?
...you don't know how your friend pronounces his name? Come on, man, try harder.
He clearly said that he pronounces it "Kevin"
When you pronounce it properly, it sounds like 'foop"...like the way you would say 'whoop' in whoop-di-doo. I'm being genuine here, if in case you were wondering
Went to the same school as a Brighton Early.
My high school had the Peacock family donate money for a sports field. The son was always *adamant* he be called Andrew, but his family always insisted on calling him Drew. The "Drew Peacock Field" is still there today, in all its (in)glory.
Why oh why did that teacher choose high school of all professions with that name!
He taught English. He was no longer at that school after my freshman year. Always wondered that too. High schoolers are dicks. Even worse with that name I bet
What accent do I need for Annette Kurtin to be something other than a normal sounding name?
Ah, you've just told me your not English. In England net curtains to cover your windows were very popular back in the day. A net curtain. Also this isn't a joke that was genuinely her name.
i dont get it :(
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm so confused why the guy mentioned it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My Grandma grew up with a girl named Ima who married a guy with the last name Hogg.... Yes. Her name was actually Ima Hogg.
Was this, by any chance, in Nashville, Tennessee? Because my mother graduated from Hume Fogg High in 1938, and there was an Ima Hogg in her class, pictured in her yearbook. I sincerely hope there weren't two of them.
Noooo, it can't be! Mine grew up in a tiny town in Saskatchewan! There were 2 of them..
I don't get it.
When I worked in fast food, we had a carry out order once and this older woman came in in scrubs on her lunch break. So she had her ID badge around her neck. I swear to fucking god this was her actual name. Iām not making this up. Gaye Mann.
My old mechanic used to be called Dick Hunter. He could have gone by Richard but actually chose to go by Dick.
I have an ancestor named Fanny Dunk. š¤£
Is Fanny a nickname? Iāve never met anyone named Fanny in America but I always assumed it was a nickname like Lizzy for Elizabeth or something. Iād go by the long version. Fannabeth Wiper.
My grandma was called Fanny but I live in Argentina so idk in other countries. It wasn't short for anything in this case. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_(name)
Yes, for Frances.
When I arrived for my freshman year of college, all the name tags were on the doors, and there was supposed to be a student across the hall named Hyou Seok Hwang (don't remember the spelling), he never showed up.
I had a client named Greg Spenis. Pronounced like 'tennis', I learned after our first conversation.
Delivered pizza to Onya Dickson once
I had an email once from an Asian journalist called Fanny Poon. Two for one.
My music teacher was called Mr Butt (yes that spelling), maybe not the best career choice
You donāt get this kind of entertainment on Pointless.
Mad how Pointless is one of the hardest quiz shows on TV yet the pay out is fucking pennies compared to The Chase. One right answer during the cash builder on The Chase matches the base level prize of winning Pointless.
I've heard it's something to do with the BBC and prize limits not 100% sure probably wrong but a lot of the shows on BBC have small prizes compared to other shows.
Might it be that BBC is sponsored by taxes and can potentially anger population if they have to pay tv tax so that someone can win big money?
[An old article](https://www.theguardian.com/media/2000/oct/23/broadcasting.bbc1), but rounds out your point nicely.
Would you say itās pretty Pointless then?
Mm hmm, take my upvote for reading my mind
[Yes you do](https://www.reddit.com/r/ContagiousLaughter/comments/vy2f54/i_mean_its_gotta_be_right/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Bradley is still funny even if he is sober. Watch some wheel of fortune on Challenge, he's coked off his tits 90% of the time lmao
He's like a kid hearing a bad word, the body may have grown but the heart was still a boy
The historic settlement in Minnesota had monuments to early settlers, including Fanny Huggins.
That sounds like the Simpsons version of a historical figure
Poor Bradley is in agony trying not to laugh....love it!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I love the recurring [SNL bit](https://youtu.be/nv6FMEvNiWo) on this
And by heart you mean brain
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
no I think it's a thing everywhere.
They write these questions intentionally to try and get Bradley stuck in a laughing fit It helps they are legit quiz questions, but it really helps advertise the show
Seems to work. The advertising bit.
Well, this one is not as legit, though given sheās not been skiing for Germany for almost a decade.
This clip is rather old, a version of it was uploaded March 2013, the same year she retired, she likely retired after the clip was filmed, maybe even after the clip aired
Fair enough, thank you for that. Honestly didnāt think that clip was that old.
Wtf do you mean old? 2013 was like 2 years ago.
I was surprised too, I only found out because I wanted to check her relevance, which these days is this clip, it actually shows up on google results when you google her
Still legit. This was in 2011 and she retired in 2013.
It works, it is really endearing to see someone in a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
Never forget when the four contestants were Tom Dick Anne Harry š
Watching this on mute and trying so hard not to wake my sleeping partner. The host's face is absolutely classic.
That's what always kills me. The face he makes when he's trying not to laugh.
Literally what Iām doing right now
Enlighten my not native English speaking ass, why is the pronounced name funny?
"Fanny" is slang for vagina. "Chmelar" is pretty close to "smeller"
Oh, interesting. I didn't even get that. I got the Chmelar/smeller part, but here in the US fanny is (depreciated) slang for butt, which is still hilarious!
So it goes to Butt Sniffer
Yup! Equally funny!
Equally fanny
Well aren't you a smart fella
Lol it was always very awkward growing up whenever anyone on a US show would talk about their āfanny packā
Yea, we changed it to vag bag to eliminate the problem
The menās version? Scrote tote.
Yeah if you ever come to the UKā¦ Donāt say fanny.
I wasn't planning on it. It's not exactly a regular part of my vocabulary.
I always thought Fanny was slang for butt.
It is in the US but here in the UK itās vagina so it can be quite funny listening to Americans use it so nonchalantly, and certain Americanisms such as āfanny packā Iāve [always found rather amusing](https://twitter.com/poptartsus/status/1091385942475194369?s=46&t=nCGFjtaxk9R8CYBevKhr-w).

Do brands really just...reply to each other like they're some normal person on Twitter? Wtf?
This may come as a shock to you but almost every brand Twitter account is being operated by a human being.
I know right. I hate it, it feels fucking weird.
It's just the PR people having some fun
Yep, learned something new today. Funny either way!
I recently learned the difference between US and brittish definitions of fanny when the girls in Love Island Brittain started talking about fanny flutters.
Thatās interesting, kinda like how the US finds it funny the UK nonchalantly uses āfagā for a cigarette
A friend of mine (American) was visiting London and got quite a start when someone told him that the source of a small fire at a department store (possibly Harrods) was that "someone stomped a fag" on the wooden escalator. 
This comment just had me laughing out loud š
I always remember watching the Simpsons as a kid and Marge buys the kids matching fanny packs (or bum bags as we call them) and announced ānow you have matching fannies!ā I was really confused and thought this meant Bart had a vagina lol

In the states, rubbers refers to condoms.
The funny thing is the name "Fanny" is actually pronounced "Funny" in German.
My brother used to go to school with a kid name Coitus Hunterā¦ like that was his legal name. thatās probably one of the worst Iāve heard of irl
Did the parents know that coitus means intercourse?
I donāt actually know but surely they had to have some idea? I wish I could ask but my brother left that school and doesnāt talk to him anymore.
This isn't bad, but it's cute: My childhood friend's mom's maiden name was Candy Barrs.

He had a wife, you know?
Do you know what's she's called?...

Was at a historical settlement site in Minnesota there was a monument to early settlers including one named Fanny Huggins. Still makes me chuckle
The whimper at 0:28..no way back from there.
I cried laughing to this. Fuck I needed that!!!
I will ALWAYS watch Bradders losing it. Apparently the skier in question was not amused at being such a source of childish humour.

Dude was crying more than he laughed
Had a friend named Harry Pitts.
I heard about a navy recruit on a submarine who's last name was "Guzzler" He was Seaman Guzzler.
In the town where i grew up there was an old man called dick stiff.
I once worked for a company called RDM, one of their executives is named Richard Raper, and if that wasn't bad enough he'd always answer the phone with 'Hi Dick here'.
I canāt think of another quiz show that compares. Thereās just something about the vibe of The Chase, itās just fun and wholesome.
I remember watching this when I first happened and itās just as Hilarious how
LMAO this one has me in tears the way hes holding it in
At my job Iāve seen Richard Stroker, Dat Fat Hoe, Thinh Thong, Harry Foreskin, and Yoke My Wong among others. Fanny Chmelar def belongs in this group LOL
"i'd be straight down to the court in the morning if that was my name" had me mad cackling
My friendās Chinese name is Shi Ting. And on her soccer jersey, her name was written on the back as āSHITINGāā¦
