What is the most beautiful word you can think of?
I remember playing a forgotten board game with a group of friends decades ago. A multiple-choice question asked the definition of the word “Callipygian.” One option was “Having beautiful buttocks.” I chose that answer simply because I wanted so badly for it to be the word’s true meaning. I vowed that if it was correct, I’d never forget the word. It was. I haven’t. Callipygian is the perfect answer to this question—simultaneously sounding beautiful when spoken, and attributing beauty. As with so many things in this world, who to describe as callipygian is quite subjective. Nicki Minaj’s implants are the epitome of callipygian to some folks, while Kate Upton’s flat bottom defines the word for others. What is objectively true, though, is the unwritten rule women agree to when pulling on their yoga pants to venture into public spaces. Ladies are afforded comfort and simplicity in their wardrobe choice. In return, they allow any gawker full display of the outline of their butt. What societal norms don’t yet permit is a verbal attribution of this most beautiful word to the deserving stranger ahead of you in line at Target.
