Is there a (non-medical) word for the border/skin fold between butt and thigh?

I have a feeling there is one.

In Italian we call it "sottochiappa"

[–] double_quack@lemm.ee 0 points 3 days ago

They are called "arrows". Those, in particular, are red

[–] DantesFreezer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

In pole dancing terms that's the gluteal crease or gluteal fold.

Medically the gluteal fold is the buttcrack.

[–] Dallimjp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

It's called the Thutt.

Gluteal fold

Edit: maybe outer-gluteal cleft if you wanted to be cute about it

[–] pmk 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the correct answer.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 week ago

Yes, this seems to be the correct one. πŸ‘

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As opposed to the gluteal fissure, which is the ass crack.

I, too, once long before OP was but a twinkle in his Father's eye, wondered this same thing

Also took Anatomy/Sports physiology class. But who's counting?

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

This sounds like a medical term though

[–] jeinzi@discuss.tchncs.de 142 points 1 week ago (4 children)

In German it's called Arschbackenoberschenkelabtrennfalte

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Holy fuck it is for real! I thought it was a made up word lol

[–] HairyHarry@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"All words are made up."

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

If I could imagine anything more German than a long compound word, it's a wikipedia article dedicated to exactly that thing.

Butt cleavage maybe? Undercheek?

[–] CanadaPlus 23 points 1 week ago

Undercheek would be understood.

is that the part you sit on when you're up on your peddle stool?

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Don't be such a damp squid.

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Peddle stool? Don't ostrich-size me.

Some movie from 80s? 90s? Called it the Inner Diametral Curve

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think it's the cleftal horizon

Edit: mb that's the buttcrack

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago
[–] CanadaPlus 5 points 1 week ago

Not that I've ever heard, but undercheek was a good suggestion. I'd probably go with "base part of the buttocks" unprompted.
