WORD FOR THE DAY: STEATOPYGIA
2000 Most Challenging and Obscure Words | March 21, 2017 | Norman Schur

Posted on 03/21/2017 7:29:51 PM PDT by Louis Foxwell

;


In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

STEATOPHYGIA [stee uh toh PYE jee uh]

hear it pronounced

noun

AStear, Greek for "fat, grease," gave rise to the prefix steato-, while pyge is Greek for "buttox, rump." Together, this prefix and noun gave us steatophygia for fatty accumulation on the buttocks, and steatophygic fat buttocked, the condition of possessing a very fat rump. Also synonyous with callipygian, callipygous.

As I watched a series of hearings today I came to the conclusion that what comes out of the mouth can be just as steatopygian as what is sat upon.

Speaking of Michelle Obama, 1) where is she, and 2) has her steatopygia condition improved since leaving the White House?

I would rather have my women exhibit callipygia than steatopygia. :-)

Full disclosure: I'm a leg man, really.

I guess this would apply to the overexposed Kardashians but at firt I thought it might refer to “fear of Stephanopolis”.

The references to MO made me LOLOL!
