bend over
Hunch toward ground
Bend over means to incline the upper body forward and downward, typically at the waist: Bend over and touch your toes.
The position makes one vulnerable, which gives rise to the vulgar sense—to submit to anal sex, or figuratively, to be exploited or taken advantage of: The company bent us over on that deal.
To bend over backwards is to make an extraordinary effort to accommodate someone.
