Okie dokie. Back on track today! Today's word is one you should definitely find a way to work into your vocabulary.
C is for: Callipygous
When I read this word, I didn't even have a good guess as to what it meant. You say it like so: "Calli" like "California," "py" like the "Pie" you eat, and "gous" like the name "Gus." Calli-PIE-gus. Callipygous. (You could also say callipygian like a California + pidgeon. It means the same thing.)
It is an adjective for having a "well-shaped buttocks." That's right. A nice booty! Let's just say that the cruise we just got off of was loaded with callipygous ladies! (Including my wife, of course. :) )
So women: take this as a compliment if anyone ever tells you. (And teach the word to your man, so he can tell you!)
And men: learn this! It gets you brownie points for the complement and for being smart. You can't lose!
See what else I'm up to > > > >

Well, it's no wonder I've never heard of that word...my buttocks are very far from being callipygous!!

:-) Love this!!! At least now if someone says it to me I'll know it's a compliment!
(might come in useful on the Scrabble board, too!)
Good luck with the A-Z challenge!
