This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Spaz was very mild in the US and very serious in the UK. Meant kinda different things too.

The opposite for extremity in these countries at the time was fanny. Meant completely different things.

Fanny is a semi common forename in Sweden.

And what does fanny mean to you?

In Swedish? just a name, with unfortunate significance in the english language.
