"ass / butt"

A mildly vulgar word for buttocks — ruder than 'попа' (bum) but much tamer than 'жопа' (ass). It's the Goldilocks of Russian butt words. Parents use it with children without feeling guilty, and it appears in literature without raising eyebrows.

'Подними свою задницу' (Get your butt up) — something a parent says to a teenager on the couch.
