builder's bum
Workman's wardrobe malfunction
Builder's bum is British slang for the exposed crack of someone's buttocks when their trousers ride down, typically while bending or crouching.
The term evokes tradesmen—plumbers, builders, electricians—whose physical work often produces this wardrobe malfunction: He bent to fix the pipe, showing off a classic builder's bum.
Americans call this plumber's crack.
