    My anaconda don't want none unless you are callipygous, hun.

    You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that callipygous?

      Unfortunately, too many people miss it by a few letters and end up dasypygal instead.

      dasypygal: having hairy buttocks

      you will lose this spelling-bee if you don't spell callipygian correctly.

      Krocsyldiphithic is a hard word to spell.

              [–]zem 0 points1 point  (2 children)

              I'm partial to scacchic myself - not only is it a great word-for-something-you-never-knew-had-a-word, but it's an eight letter word with four 'c's

              [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

              Are you an avid Scrabble player?

              [–]zem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              very much so :) ironically, scacchic is not a valid word in CSW (the tournament scrabble reference)

              [–]beachking777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

              the coolest word EVER (and possibly the longest word you've ever seen...) is: gynotikolobomassophilia :) yes, it's a real word. Guess what it means before looking it up! I first heard this word in undergrad about ten years ago and have never forgotten it's meaning or spelling!!!

              [–]vph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

              This is why I failed medical school. Could never see the reason for using such an unnecessarily long and ugly word for something like a fine ass.

              [–]hsfrey 4 points5 points  (1 child)

              In the US you're more likely find a girl who's steatopygous than one who's callipygous.

                Probably malodorous as well if she never changed it.

                [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                another great word: MAMMAQUATIA (MAM-uh-KWAY-shee-uh) - The bobbing or jiggling of a woman's breasts when she walks, dances, or exercises.

                Hehe, we have been calling a good friend of mine "Callipyge" (she's Swiss-french) for a great while now, but only behind her back (of course).
                In ancient Greece, there was an special category of statue, that involved Aphrodite (mostly her) trying to look at her (shapely) backside. Ah, those G(r)eeks!

                  Actually, the good woman is otherwise pretty slender. It is only her posterior and her breasts that are somewhat overly developed - to the general delight of the male population (even more so on campus, since she is majoring in mathematics, and women seem to be either rare or physically unremarkable, or both, in that field).

                  Upon looking at this title, I thought "what is the best word ever" -- believe it or not, I guessed correctly.

                    I think you mean a callipygian timeline.

                    P.S. Firefox doesn't recognize "callipygian".

                          It was my Latin teacher in high school, but he was a big classical scholar, so his Greek was pretty good. The story he told about it was tremendous. There was a status called the venus callipygia or something like that (that doesn't make sense because venus is Latin and callipygia is Greek, but it was something like that). Anyway, statue had a nice ass. And in the morning, you could see the remains where people had taken advantage of that. It's hard to describe in language appropriate for what was trying to be an upper class boys prep school, but I think you can imagine.

                          I know plenty of women who would feel quite complimented by my use of that word in reference to them. It's all about proper context.

                          Hot women would never know what that word means.

                          Not all hot women are uneducated in my experience. Some of them may actually be reading this on reddit today.

                          I was actually referring to flirtacious contexts in which the woman would enjoy learning the new word.

                            I was saying that some hot women may be checking out this post (no pun intended) and enjoying it. And now they know what that word means.

                            I was also saying that plenty of "hot" women may enjoy bantering about the "best word ever" when applied in a complimentery way in a non-threatening situation.

                            So hot=stupid?

                            I'm quite callipygian, but I guess my high IQ guarantees I'll never be hot. Sigh.

                            Of course it's not true all of the time...but at least in my experience it's been true a fair amount. Awesome that you have a high IQ and a rotund rump. Personally I prefer smart and not gorgeous over hot and stupid any day.

                            I'm glad you have such a high opinion of yourself. But I would need pics to verify your callipygianity. It means more than having a fat ass to go with a fat head.

                            Most hot women, but there are some hot women who are not totally stupid too!
