Callipygian.....I would have never guessed.
Callipygian (Adjective)

http://www.yourdictionary.com/images/x.gif
Pronunciation: [kæ-lê-'pi-j(ee)ên]
Definition 1: Having or pertaining to shapely buttocks.
Usage 1: At last we have not only a polite way to refer to this alluring physiognomic characteristic but a euphonious (pleasant-sounding) one, as well. Also "callipygous" [kæ-lê-'pI-gês].
Suggested usage: This is a word we can all use fearlessly, "Maureen lingered to notice the callipygian young man reaching for the book in the library," even into middle age, "The passing years had massaged her youthful figure into that of a zaftig woman of enviable callipygian luxuriance." (See the Word of the Day archives for "zaftig.")
Etymology: Greek kallipygos, from kallos "beauty" + pyge "buttocks." (Today we thank Julia Fice and Gregg Schaufield, for such a felicitous means of expressing this localized appreciation of the human anatomy.)

I thought this was a  definition.
