Well, I started to send this reply off-list saying that the proper meaning
was understood in the southern US. And my guess as to a country that would
use the word differently would be Australia and I vaguely remembered
something similar in the UK. After a quick search of the web, I found my
guess was right so I thought I'd let everyone know along with my sources.

There were some other sites but these two were towards the top of the list
at google.com. And, if you are easily offended by pornography on the web do
NOT search for "fanny and vagina".
