  If it is spelled correctly and you are looking for ONE word, no I can't think what it could be at the moment. Sra (aka Mme) P.S. You might direct it specifically to Mathmate.

  Callipyge means a person with a curved back making his "ass" backwards. Black women often are called callipyge. The origin of the word is fromm greek language look on wikipedia.fr for a picture of venus callipyge. in greek, kalli = beau and pygos = fesse, ass of back in english. and for the second part of the word, phile comes from greek too and means "who like this". exemple: a "cinephile" is a person who like motion pictures. Hope this helps you! Hervé
