There's asses and bottoms. There's cans and there's duffs.
There's ends and there's fannies. There's glutei max.
There's heinies; il botto. There's Junk in the trunk.
There's keisters. Les tooshe (that's how
Frenchies say 'cracks').
There’s matakos and new moons. There's onions and poopers.
There's quailtails and rumps and there's seats (in the rear).
There's a tuchus. Une breech. A va-voom and a whoopie cake.
(X, Y, Z? Wa-a-a-a-a-a-y too exotic, my dear.)

Film-Flam or Brief Histories of Cinema Classics
1939 The Wizard of Oz
In Oz, your
monkeys soar, your wizards roar.
You’re not,
young Dot, in Kansas anymore.
1939 Gone with the Wind
More
ante-bellum “bim-bam, thank you, ma’am!”
Quite frankly, Yankees
just don’t give a damn.
1941 Citizen Kane
What nonsense!
“Rosebud!” signifies a sled?
To wit, Kane’s
lit. “Rosé, Bud!”’s what he said.
1942 Casablanca
Though famed
for Bogart’s bid, “Again, Sam! Play it!”
the question bides:
did Bogie even say it?
1950 All About Eve
A bitter Bette
rides the stairs. (Takes flight…?)
“Make fast
those belts. This bodes a bumpy night.”
1954 On the Waterfront
Steiger’s Chas
“The Gent,” while Cobb’s the jerk.
Mauldin’s
priest goads Marlon’s brash Young Turk.
Saint, god
knows, as good as goes berserk.
But who’s the
dude who crows, “Let’s go to work!”?
1979
Alien
“Aliens!!” cries poor Sigourney’s team.
(‘Tis space, my
dear: they cannot hear you scream.)
