derrières

What chairs support

Derrières is the plural of derrière, a mildly euphemistic or humorous term for the buttocks, borrowed from French.

The word carries a lighthearted, slightly precious quality: The toddlers sat on their derrières in the sandbox.

It's genteel enough for polite company while still being playful.
