What Is "Front-Butt"?

Posted by on Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 3:19 PM

I use the term "front-butt" in my column this week and it has generated some controversy around the office.

What does "front-butt" mean to you?

Discuss.

Geni 1
An unsightly bulge in the front between the beltline and the crotch, unrelated to possession of an impressive package.

When the gut/pooch hangs low and gets a split in the middle, like a big saggy front butt.

1 and 2 are describing a fopa and a gunt.

Front Butt = vag.

I always called the front butt the bulge that happens over the belt but under the belly button. It's where the beer goes when it dies and the bulge is often split in two.

"Front butt" is am ambiguous designation for various adipose or spongy tissues that protrude out, to varying degrees, from the ventral medial region of the human abdomen or groin. It is used in place of more precise terminology when the desired reaction is "lulz" as it implies that the referent anatomy is humorously and undesirably similar to buttocks, which occupy an analogous position on the dorsal face of the body. This in turn implies that the individual is anatomically deviant and therefore an appropriate object of ridicule.

Lindy, what's your job at the Stranger again? You HAVE one, right?

A front butt is a large, loose-hanging, flabby stomach area that hangs over the waist of the pants. It often involves stretch marks and causes all within eyesight to vomit upon seeing it. It is the destroyer of sex lives and ultimately relationships/marriages, particularly when only one party has developed a front butt while the other party remains hot and thin. It is often a sign of having "given up" and is usually accompanied by flip flops/slippers and sweatpants. Front butt cultivators are notoriously slow and easy to spot. Their natural habitat includes fast food restaurants, the county jail visitors waiting room, and WalMart.

Front butt, to me immedicately conjures images of people with guts that are so huge that instead of letting the gut hang over the waist of the pants, they just cover the bottom portion of the gut with the pants. The result is that the crotch of the pants cleaves the lower part of the gut into two lobes, sometimes resembling a large butt. In front. Front butt.

It looks like the consensus in these comments is that front butt = vagina. Personally, I feel like we have enough nicknames for vaginas, and could use more nicknames for large masses of body fat concealed under clothing.

The front butt has nothing to do with the vag, unless you consider it a cover much like a tarp. It is the fat bulge that hangs over your genitalia, the reason fat guys can't see their 2inch penises and also why you have to roll a fat girl in flour and look for the wet spot. (if that's your thing) It's also one of the main reasons I left my ex-wife, GROSS!!!

Front Butt, to me, is a reference to Scrubs. As in "Front Butt! It's like the grail"- when JD is trying to find a unique medical condition.

Other definitions are fine, but when I hear Front Butt, all I can think of is "It's like the grail!".

looks best in Mom jeans.

My brother's band had a great song called Front Butt back in the 90s. Was always a hit at shows in PDX.

I once made a rap about them based on Baby Got Back. It was funny when I was 14.

Naaaaaahh, "front-butt" = vagina. Because then I can call a butthole a "back-vag." Which I do.

Front Butt to me has always been a FUPA

BTW - most women that have had kids, especially later in life are likely to have a FUPA

When my ex was growing up, her mom refered to her vagina as her "front bottom". Same thing.

It's a vag, from teh gays' POV.

The other, flabby one is a gunt.

I can't belive there's a debate! front butt is FUPA, not vag you whackos. we need a binding poll here, I think.

In England a lady's front bottom = vagina, so obviously that's what a front butt is. like @41 said, it's generally a gay guy's term for pussy. but of course anyone can use it.
Posted by bedelia on March 9, 2010 at 7:57 PM

And a side poll on FOPA vs. FUPA. Although it looks like I am in the minority. Maybe it's a regional thing.

Remember 80's mom jeans? When the waist is up to the navel and the front is pleated to let the belly push the pants outward, but the zipper has no stretch so it holds that one stripe in like a crack. THAT is front-butt.

Yeah, a front butt is what would be called a gunt in a women, only divided down the middle in some fashion.

I've been able to work the term minge into a couple of conversations in the last 2 days. Thanks fnarf.

Front Butt is a Butt-in-Front (or Bif)

Ex. His front butt hung out under his shirt

Front Butt can also be referred to as a "Dicky-Do," as in his stomach sticks out further than his dicky do.

I refuse to participate in this blatantly anti-Canadian poll.

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux

... and that's exactly the way you people must leave it, or else ....
