Bubble butt or bottom

The "right crowd" would be people with 'xy' chromosome pairs, I'm figuring.

If a male says that you have a "bubblebutt," I'd estimate that 98% of the time you should feel flattered rather than insulted.

Now, what an envious female might mean in applying the term to your derriere, that's another issue... --C.K.

What are lesbians?

Well I always HATED my err prominent backside growing up, but with the number of modern songs praising that shape, I have come to see it as a definite attribute! So yes, it should be taken as a compliment! I always remember my great-aunt slapping me on the butt when I was 14, and saying "You've got such a nice big bottom." I was naturally horrified and took it as an enormous insult. It made me self-conscious of my figure for years. I wish I knew then what I know now!

It's amazing how a single offhand "throwaway" comment can have a great effect (positive or negative) on a child. Us adults really need to think before engaging our jaws in their presence.

Butt as a word for the bottom is an American usage (though it's possible it was once in British usage before being dropped) and so "bubble butt" is American too, but butt alone and bubble butt are widely recognised in the U.K. They're still not much used, though. "Move your butt!", for example, would almost never be said by a Brit, though we do sometimes talk about the "butt end" of objects and of course a rifle has a butt.

Butts are also small semi-circular shelters used to shelter and partly conceal sportspersons shooting grouse.

Butt, what's a bum barretthunter?

Ah, yes. In America it's a travelling worker and has come to mean a disreputable, messy, valueless person. In Britain it's a bottom. So don't say an American lady has a big bum.

As an American i think that I can say that most Americans understand that "bum" can have either meaning depending on the context just a we understand that "mum" means mother although we usually say "mom".

When paddling in sororities was more common sometimes the common area was referred to as the "bum room" as paddlings of pledges, and sometimes other sorority sisters, frequently took place there.

The Bum Room got a Bum Rap ( or is that a Bum Wrapped?)!

Thanks, tiptopper. I am educated. So "Halleluiah, I'm a bum" could indicate someone celebrating their outstanding feature.
