Fanny Chmelar
Fanny Chmelar (born October 31, 1985 in Weilheim in Oberbayern) is an alpine skier from Germany. She competed for Germany at the 2010 Winter Olympics.[1] She also competes on the World Cup, and has one podium finish, a second place in the slalom at Åre, Sweden in 2009.[2]
Chmelar is perhaps most well known in the English speaking world for an unfortunate coincidence involving the pronunciation of her name. In British English, the word 'fanny' is a slang term for the vagina, and Chmelar is phonetically similar to the word 'smeller'. During the British quiz show The Chase she was the subject of a question, and the unexpected sound of her name left both the Chaser Anne Hegerty and host Bradley Walsh giggling uncontrollably. The video has since become a viral hit on Youtube, as of 21 October 2011 reaching over 1,000,000 views. [3]
