nether region
Land down under
Nether region refers to the lower parts of something—originally the underworld or hell, the realm beneath the earth.
The phrase now most often appears as a coy or humorous reference to the genitals or buttocks: The doctor examined her nether regions.
The plural form is more common than the singular.
