HomeQ&ANice ways to say ''Butt''Nice ways to say ''Butt''9votes

Ok, so before everyone freaks out, I was caught in a conversation the other day talking about a medical issue with my girlfriend's parents, and I needed to say "bottom" (that being the nicest I can think of in English) as in someone's butt... but I certainly wasn't going to say ''culo'' or ''culito'' because as far as I understand it's never a proper term to use. So please, can y'all help me out (and probably many others) with some words that are appropriate for various situations.

Please state what audiences (work, family, friends, etc...) it's appropriate for, and as well please include English & Spanish translation.

Thanks,

DJ ((( d(-_-)b )))

You can also say "Las pompas," (anywhere and quite benign), "Las pompis" (for children), "La parte posterior" (anywhere and sounds a bit more "grown up" than the first two, but still slightly humorous).

Thanks Julian! - DJ_Huero, Jun 24, 2011Es " el ponpis" in Spain's mother's way. "Los" means several, and none has several buts. - igual2, Mar 7, 20135votes

Nalgas (buttocks) or trasero (rear end, backside) get the idea across.

You are right that culo and culito should not be used in polite company.

updated Jul 13, 2011edited by KevinBposted by KevinBOk, so nalgas is proper? I've always percieved it as somewhat slang... - DJ_Huero, Jun 1, 2011Nalga literally means buttock. It's in the D R A E, so it's not slang. La Wikipedia even uses it, and who can you trust if not Wikipedia? - KevinB, Jun 1, 2011Jaja... ok, cool.. thanks Kevin. =) - DJ_Huero, Jun 1, 2011Well it sounds like culo is slang. that's the word I heard for it in LA. - amykay, Jun 1, 2011Yes culo is pretty much @$$. lol... I hope it's ok to put it like that... - DJ_Huero, Jun 1, 20113votes

Nalgas - buttocks

Trasero - behind

Pedorro. - farter

trasero - buttocks

****from the spanishdict dictionary :D ****

updated Mar 7, 2013posted by pbkidminionEn el diccionario de la RAE jamás encontrarás tal disparate. "Buttocks" son "cachas". Y en el diccionario de la RAE, sólo las navajas lo tienen. - igual2, Mar 7, 20132votes

" Bote" works and wont get you slapped.

updated Jun 2, 2011posted by pacofinklerpersonally i like " duraznos" but that will cause a fuss - pacofinkler, Jun 1, 2011Malo - DJ_Huero, Jun 1, 2011bote????? hey, that is a tin over here, wont work - 00494d19, Jun 1, 20112votes

Please be sure and include translations and audiences which it's appropriate for so that future readers can really get use out of this. Thanks

Pompis like "mi" Julian says, is actually often used here in Spain, even doctors say that.

Actually

¡Quédarse en pompas" = to strip

However, I would suggest trasero or maybe , very elegant:

el sitio donde la espalda pierde su nombre

Use sign language: slap your girlfriend's butt.
