Having beautiful buttocks?

I learn something new every day. Last night, while playing Cranium, I learned that there is a high-falutin' word that means "having beautiful buttocks." It was a multiple choice question, but I was laughing too hard to get that last option out, and had to pass the card on for another player to read. The word: callipygian. I've got to work that word into a sentence.

I swear this is true: I once read a romance novel in which the author actually used that word!

Do you remember the title?

It's not a word I would expect to read very often :)

The heroine of my much rejected historical has that as a name (she calls herself Callie). It is an ACTUAL name, really, truly. . . and her parents were that mean.

Hmmm. Wonder if there's a connection? That name = rejection.
