mooning

Cheeky rear display

Mooning is the act of baring one's buttocks at someone, typically as a prank or crude gesture of disrespect: Some kid mooned us from the back of the school bus.

The term derives from moon as slang for buttocks.

Separately, mooning can mean gazing dreamily or pining romantically: She spent the afternoon mooning over old photographs.
