Bumbags/Manbags

[Antisocial]

Given the current concerns about proper parenting expressed by Gordon, David and the other one. I have tried not to expose my 12 year old daughter to foul and disgusting language (which she thinks is great as she gets out of going to fell races). Therefore I have started to to refer to the bag I carry my vittals and Fell Runner magazine (so I can read the trail running articles when I want to lose the will to live ) as my man bag rather than my bum bag. However she has now reported me to social services for sexism and she is being moved to live with a same sex family in Hebden Bridge.

Can anyone advise me on what the politically correct title for this piece of kit should be?

Given that we are no more than the 51st US state it should be called a fanny pack......

I must admit that I feel silly saying "bum bag". I don't think the expression helps our sport.

I also feel silly saying "fartlek" and I don't think that helps our sport either.

Since when did fellrunners do fartlek??? I thought the epitomy of fell training was "going for a run"...

It's no wonder I'm crap...

If you wear it back to front, is it a front-bum bag? Or is that what the girls carry their vittals in?

Arse bag!

Perhaps something less, errrm, "anatomical" like "running bag". Simple.

I like this thread on the lets run website. (Not sure how I came across it, unless one of you lot has already mentioned it!)
