innies

Most belly buttons

Innies are belly buttons that curve inward rather than protruding—the opposite of outies.

The distinction fascinates children and occasionally adults comparing anatomies: Are you an innie or an outie?

Most people have innies.

The term extends loosely to anything recessed where an alternative protrudes.
