tuchas

What you sit

Tuchas is Yiddish-influenced slang for the buttocks: Get off your tuchas and help me.

The word appears in American English, especially in Jewish communities and regions with Yiddish heritage.

It's informal but not vulgar—more playful than crude.

Also spelled tuchus, tuchis, or toches.
