nethers
Below the waist
Nethers is an informal, slightly euphemistic term for the lower regions of the body, particularly the genitals and surrounding area.
It functions as a playful or modest way to reference private parts without being explicit: I took a hockey puck to the nethers.
The word derives from nether, meaning lower or situated below, as in the nether regions or netherworld.
