So it wouldn’t be surprising for people to see Tesco selling an Easter egg with the American meaning of the word “fanny”
This photo featuring “Rainbow the Unicorn & Her Multi Coloured Fanny” has popped up on so many people’s timelines this week after Irishwoman Karen O’Sullivan shared it on Monday night.
With over 5,000 shares and countless reposts, it’s safe to say some people think it’s real. Unfortunately, as much as everyone would love this to be legit, it originated on the English comedy page Bodmin Baboon last week.

Karen could hardly have expected it to blow up this much, as she told DailyEdge.ie:
I saw it on another page and just shared it. It’s definitely photoshopped but so funny
It’s become one of the viral gags of the week
Imagine for a second it was real though

It would be the greatest misuse of an American term since the infamous “I Like Sleep and Mickey” tshirts.
