An Aussie calls it Arse, an American calls it an Ass. Isn't it just a bum?
Except Anal sex makes it a...........? (anus?)
What should we call it?
It can be a very complex description - it depends on the situation, who you are referring to, M or F, compliment or insult.
I my opinion (and I could be wrong)
Arse - I don't think it could be used as a compliment to a woman and is usually meant as an insult
to a man. arse-hole, kick up the arse.
Ass - the American description but can be an insult as well as a compliment - make an ass of
himself - an ass is a donkey and ass-hole
Bum - so many definations both good and bad. does my bum look big in this, bum a cigarette,
you are a bum.
Backside, rear-end, bottom are just some of many descriptions but none of them a nice sound if meant as a description of woman you are trying to attract or compliment.
My favourite word to describe that part of the female anatomy is derriere (derry-air) - the french word for bottom, it has a pleasant sound and definately can only be taken as a compliment.
If you are too afraid to use it, you are not trying - what sounds better...
You have a lovely arse or you have a lovely derriere...
All are good. I particularly like "Rump"
