Entrée is a French word and is literally defined as "the act or manner of entering." It's commonly used around the world to describe the first or "entrance" dish to a meal.

2. That fanny is another way to say butt or bum.

Where I come from it's another word for vagina. Fun fact: We also call fanny packs, bum bags.

3. That you use the word restroom as well as bathroom.
