As an American who lived in the UK, I had personal experience with this particular translation idiosyncrasy. When I used the term "fanny pack," I got baffled looks from my British friends, who after some confusion explained that "fanny" in the UK is slang for a woman's privates. The proper British term for the American "fanny pack" is actually "bum belt," which is pretty funny in American English as well.
