tokus

Where you sit

Tokus is the buttocks—a Yiddish-derived term common in American English, especially among Jewish speakers: Get off your tokus and help me.

The word is familiar and mildly humorous rather than vulgar, often used when speaking to children or in casual complaint.

Also spelled tuchis, tuchus, or tush.
