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

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is the correct answer.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 4 days ago

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

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

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?

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Here I thought that was the cleftal horizon.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

This sounds like a medical term though

[–] jeinzi@discuss.tchncs.de 139 points 4 days ago (4 children)

In German it's called Arschbackenoberschenkelabtrennfalte

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 65 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Holy fuck it is for real! I thought it was a made up word lol

[–] HairyHarry@lemmy.world 36 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

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

Well, he got pranked

"All words are made up."

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

If I could imagine anything more German than a long compound word, it's a wikipedia article dedicated to exactly that thing.

[–] amelia@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

"Analrinne" ist wirklich ein furchtbares Wort.

β€œAss cheek thigh separation fold”

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 32 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hey Baby, schΓΆner Arschbackenoberschenkelabtrennfalte!

[–] Fafa@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 68 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 77 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

which stands for "UnderBoob Of My Butt"

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

This is the best name so far

In Italian we call it "sottochiappa"

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

Medically the gluteal fold is the buttcrack.

[–] nosebleed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 29 points 4 days ago

Butt cleavage maybe? Undercheek?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 4 days ago

Undercheek would be understood.

Gluteus overhang?

[–] schmalls@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

Some movie from 80s? 90s? Called it the Inner Diametral Curve

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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 2 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.
