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

I have a feeling there is one.

Gluteal fold

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is the correct answer.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Here I thought that was the cleftal horizon.

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

This sounds like a medical term though

[–] [email protected] 142 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

In German it's called Arschbackenoberschenkelabtrennfalte

[–] [email protected] 66 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"All words are made up."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks 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?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago

Undercheek would be understood.

I think it's the cleftal horizon

Edit: mb that's the buttcrack

Rumpledthighskin

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

Medically the gluteal fold is the buttcrack.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

In Italian we call it "sottochiappa"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

"la forma de la nalga"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

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