tush

Your sitting spot

Tush is a mild, somewhat childish word for the buttocks.

It functions as a gentler alternative to ass or butt, making it suitable for use around children or in polite company: Get your tush off the couch and help me.

The word carries a playful, affectionate tone rather than any vulgar connotation.
