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

I have a feeling there is one.

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

My SO calls it the smile. They can't leave mine alone

In Italian we call it "sottochiappa"

Butt cleavage

[–] DantesFreezer@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

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

Medically the gluteal fold is the buttcrack.

Gluteus overhang?

When they hang out of your short shorts, I have some friends that call them nuggets -- "Girl, your nuggets are hanging out"

Idk about an informal word but I call it butt crease. Probably not the medical term but it's what I call it for medical contexts (as a patient)

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

That's what I call it as well. Got clipped by a forklift. Just a welt and a really bad scrape, but it could have been much, much worse.

[–] Dallimjp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

It's called the Thutt.

[–] Master@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Gluteal fold

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

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We need to make this @cheese_greater@lemmy.world's top comment of all time.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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 6 days ago

This sounds like a medical term though

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the correct answer.

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

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Here I thought that was the cleftal horizon.

[–] jeinzi@discuss.tchncs.de 141 points 1 week ago (4 children)

In German it's called Arschbackenoberschenkelabtrennfalte

[–] Fafa@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I thought it's called bananenfalte (bananafold/wrinkle)

[–] 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 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm German and I also thought you got pranked.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

Well, he got pranked

"Analrinne" ist wirklich ein furchtbares Wort.

[–] Micromot@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

That's just worse, ass furrow is something I never thought i would read

I've been calling it the "U-bomb" for years

which stands for "UnderBoob Of My Butt"

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

This is the best name so far

Butt cleavage maybe? Undercheek?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 week ago

Undercheek would be understood.
