Chmelar is perhaps most well known in the English-speaking world for an unfortunate coincidence involving the pronunciation of her name. In most English speaking countries, the word ''[[wikt:fanny|fanny]]'' is a slang term for [[vagina]] (in the USA, "fanny" is slang for [[buttocks]]), and Chmelar (surname of [[Czech language|Czech]] origin, ''chmelař'' meaning ''[[Humulus|hop]]-grower'') can be [[Anglicisation|anglicised]] to {{IPA-en|ˈʃmɛlər|}}, similar to the word ''smeller''. During an episode of the British game show ''[[The Chase (game show)|The Chase]]'', she was the subject of a question, and the unexpected sound of her name left both host [[Bradley Walsh]] and Chaser [[Anne Hegerty]] giggling uncontrollably.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bradley Walsh has a Fanny turn|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3884085/Bradley-Walsh-has-a-Fanny-turn.html|publisher=The Sun|accessdate=13 November 2011}}</ref>
