outtie

Protruding navel type

An outtie is a navel that protrudes slightly rather than forming an indentation—the opposite of an innie.

The spelling varies: outie, outtie, outy.

Most people have innies; outties result from how the umbilical cord healed.

She has an outtie, so she doesn't wear crop tops.

The word is informal and childish in register.
