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.
