Backside

The backside refers to the rear portion of the human body, encompassing the buttocks and the area surrounding them. It is a somewhat informal term, often used in everyday conversation. The term can also metaphorically represent the rear or less visible portion of something, like the 'backside' of a building. Its connotation can be neutral to slightly impolite, depending on context. It is frequently employed humorously or to avoid more explicit anatomical terms. The use of 'backside' also suggests a certain degree of casualness or informality in the speaker's tone.
