I want to get to know some of you. Everyday till next Wednesday I am asking and answering a new question. Answer the question yourself by commenting. Feel free to comment in whatever language you want! If you have a question you want answered, post it or e-mail it and maybe your question will be chosen as the question of the day!
Question #5: What is your Primary or First language and how many words do you know to refer to a “BUTT”?
EatingLifeUp answer:
- This question came up in a hostel where many of us in the room spoke different languages. We stumbled upon the fact that English appears to have the most words to name or refer to a BUTT. Granted some are stolen from other languages but are commonly used and some are slang. However for this exercise they still count.
- I don’t want to give you all of mine but here are three acceptable examples to get you started:
- Derrière (Stolen from French but commonly used)
- Badonkadonk (Pop Culture Slang)
- Bum (Less harsher term)
- “Junk in the trunk” or “Cushion for the Push’n” would not be allowed because they are sayings
- My primary language is English and I can think of 23 words! I don’t think that is exhaustive!
Next Sunday I will post my 23 answers for everyone.
Comment, Answer, Suggest!

Hahahaha give me some credit, I could have used a real bum and not a picture of a statue’s bum.
P.S. The picture of the statue was actually a picture I took on holidays 😉
