Side-Ass?

So, side-boob is definitely a thing. What about when you get a view of the side of someone's ass, but not the butt-crack?

Because in an episode of Dexter I was watching the other day, John Lithgow took off his pants (yet again), but remained perpendicular to the camera, and with appropriate leg-bendage, managed to keep his junk and his ass-crack hidden from the camera at the same time. But you got a side-view of his cheek.

So, would that be considered side-ass? Or just full-on ass?

Thoughts?

Most people tend to refer to that as a hip even though you're getting total side cheek. At least that has been my perception. Because from the side there is no real clear deliniation between butt and hip. And the Brazilian bikini is the perfect example of that.

that cheeky bastard...

Side ass is appropriate. When the glutes are in view, the side-ass should be fairly easy to distinguish from hip structures. But I think I would quantify it more by the sharpe change in direction from the back of the leg as the butt begins to jet outward, say, when a very short skirt is worn, or perhaps a formal dress with a tall cut up the side (I've forgotten the term for this.. slit?) that waves back and exposes a small sample of one's derrier. For a man, it should be similar, say, when streaking or caught on campus in the nude and they try to gover up with a bush or pom-poms (sorry for the cheerleading movie referrence)

This is assuming that the person has well defined glutes though. You're failing to account for non-runners or well in shape actors with your definition Trevor. On the average legged person. the difference between hip and but isn't really distinguishable until you have a crack with which to measure it from. And I still agree that it's completely appropriate. The missing term was slit, yes, and usually a slit goes to the hip, not the butt, and it not made to expose butt, though it is possible.
