callipyginous women - great butts - callipygian

When I was thirteen years old (1958) I wanted to make explosives. By reading hundreds of chemistry texts I eventually learned how, although in the process I came across so many Greek words that I began then to search for interesting looking words in books devoted to unusual words. I came across callipyginous. I have used the word throughout my life as a mere mortal. Now that I have entered the divine universe of blogging I would like to see the word used more throughout the blogosphere.

Callipyginous - well-shaped buttocks. But sometimes words do not do justice.

So, here are women with callipygian charms:

Notes from Another Country, Callipygian (Callipygous) - My Favorite Word

This is a word about which it would be possible to generate many bad puns, thereby making an ass of oneself and becoming the butt of jokes. The subject matter—and the rather beautiful form of the word itself—has lent itself to adoption by word-hungry authors, even though the first recorded use was only in 1880. Thomas Pynchon wrote in Gravity’s Rainbow: "Those dusky Afro-Scandinavian buttocks, which combine the callipygian rondure observed among the races of the Dark Continent with the taut and noble musculature of sturdy Olaf, our blond Northern cousin”. Its origin is in Greek kallipugos, used to describe a famous statue of Aphrodite; that comes from kallos, beauty (as in calligraphy, or callisthenics, or the lily called hemerocallis) plus puge, buttocks.

Venus, thought to be more beautiful than any mortal woman, demurely admires her reflection in this sculpture called "Callipygian,” meaning "of the beautiful buttocks.” While the late Hellenistic original once stood at the center of a pool in Nero’s Domus Aurea in Rome, this designer resin garden version is cast directly from a 19th century antique.

  • PG Woodhouse (author of books on Jeeves, Berie wooster, Lord Blicester etc) used the word "callipygous" to describe one of his characters who was reportedly somewhat broad in the beam.
