bahoochie
Scots for backside, bum — soft, jokey, the one you use with weans.
Definitions
Scots for the buttocks, but with a playful, almost-cute register — the word you use telling a wee one to sit on their bahoochie, not the one you'd shout in a pub. Sits in the same family as 'bahookie' and 'bahooky'. Affectionate, harmless, distinctly Scottish.
bahoochie In A Sentence
Origin & Usage
Possibly from 'behind' + 'hock' with diminutive suffix; alternative theory links to Heriot's School slang 'hookey' (a caning).
