    You're missing my point, my advice would be to forget where people are from and just try to get to know they guy.

    Please don't try to do irony, seriously. In my own experience the average American does not do irony in the same way as the average English person...and sarcasm, the same....just be yourself, don't try too hard and if he is interested you will work it out in the end.

    Fanny is a 'vulgar' word meaning ladies bits and it is hugely amusing to us that Americans use it to mean bum lol

    My Husband is Canadian, as i mentioned and he finds our humour difficult sometimes, he also finds cultural references are difficult for him, we have a similar language, if we didn't we would all be less surprised at the differences.
