buttocks
Where you sit
The buttocks are the two fleshy mounds forming the rear of the human body, where the back meets the thighs.
The word is plural—a single cheek is a buttock, though this singular form sounds clinical and rare.
Buttocks serves as the neutral anatomical term, sitting between formal medical language and the many slang alternatives: The injection goes in the buttocks.
