From the Greek kallipygos.

I found this reference that makes some sense: early 19th century (used to describe a famous statue of Venus): from Greek kallipūgos, from kallos ‘beauty’ + pūgē ‘buttocks’, + -ian.

I can easily see 19th century art fanciers wanting to talk about how much they like butts but sound educated and erudite at the same time. :)
My question is: how many times will callipygian be used in GA stories now?

I am sure that like everyone else, we all went pretty much through the same sites, looking for something different and/or unusual to say about, the Word of the Day. Multiple dozens & dozens of them, until finally reaching the end, which of course, were all of the porn sites. I picked out 4 that caught my attention. The first two, completely unrelated, with anything mentioned so far.

The third, something that could, be found in our own lounge here at GA.

Last but not least(my favorite) and a complete surprise. Not a song, but a dance or to be precise, a jig. Enjoy!

Press the Audio button, to hear the 'Callipygian Jig'.
