booty

Stolen ship treasure

Booty is plunder taken in war or by pirates—treasure seized by force.

The word extends to any valuable haul: They made off with the booty.

In slang, booty means buttocks, especially an attractive one: She's got a nice booty.

This sense dominates contemporary usage, appearing in music, dance, and casual speech.

A booty call is a late-night summons for casual sex.
