full moons

Totally illuminated nights

Full moons are instances when the moon appears as a complete illuminated disk, occurring roughly once per lunar month when Earth sits between the sun and moon.

The plural typically refers to multiple such occurrences: We've had three full moons since you left.

In slang, full moons means exposed buttocks, from the resemblance: The frat boys pressed full moons against the bus window.
