steatopygia
Anthropology: The condition of having large deposits of fat on the buttocks, as in Hottentot and Bushmen women. The stylized steatopygia of an Upper Paleolithic statuette found in southern Europe indicates the possbility that this present-day Capoid specialty may have been commoner in Caucasoids at this early period. Derived from Greek stear, steatos, fat, and pyge, buttocks. (In other words, "baby got back").

Coin Locker Babies by Ryu Murakam
The woman pushed on the baby's stomach and sucked its penis into her mouth; it was thinner than the American menthols she smoked and a bit slimy, like raw fish.
Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

"Enter Winter"
posted Wednesday, October 30, 2002:
Snow! Not the first snow of the year, but it stuck to the ground, the cars, branches, my mind, filtered the light flooding my room white. A cup of tea melting away the cold around my hands, I stand by the windows awaiting caffeination initiation. M is on the other side of those mountains playing detective until this afternoon and images of him drift softly in my head, dust the floors, cling to the branches, bury me in sweet, wistful winter. «
