“Everyone everywhere should federate.”

“Not like that!”

Not as weird or rude as telling them to pat their neighbour on the vulva.

An American comedian, following a long set here in Australia, told the audience to stand up and stretch. He then tried to direct us to “bend over and pat your neighbour on the fanny”. Stone cold silence did not indicate to him his mistake, and he tried several times before eventually realising he had lost his audience goodwill entirely with this starting skit.

Turned out later that he had no clue what “fanny” means here, and had to have it explained to him.
