But am showing my ignorance about "callipygny." Google can't find it for me.

The closest I can find is "callipyge" (FR) - translated in English as "callipyge" - and described in French as "Qui a de belles fesses" (who has a nice butt).

It is most often used in French to describe the Greek goddess Venus ("la Vénus callipyge" ).

So it is definitely appropos here. Love the way you use it.

Thanks for the lessons!
