Greek term
πωπός
Greek to English
Other
Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
It's in a list of body parts in a questionnaire about children. I can't find it in any of my dictionaries, or in the (seriously broken) proZ term search. I think I can guess what it means, but I'd rather have confirmation from the good people here.

Note from asker:
| Thanks. That's what I thought, of course, but because I didn't grow up speaking Greek I don't really know these "kiddy" words. |

is what we called it in the US. Or "tushy" even. In any case it is mostly used in reference to children. You would use "bottom" if you are translating into British English.
