A dialect term from Scottish and Northern English speech for the buttocks or rump — straightforward, earthy, and unashamed. It's the kind of word that sounds funnier the more you say it, and it carries no real vulgarity despite its subject matter. You're more likely to find it in historical texts, dialect poetry, or deliberately folksy conversation than in modern everyday speech, but it has a warm, regional charm that makes it worth knowing.
