Maybe it wasn’t one of my better jokes

. . . but this commenter takes me waaay to seriously.

This is stupid. Obviously the author doesn’t know the traits of someone who truly has steatopygia. Jennifer Lopez is not even close to having the condition (the angle from back to butocks must be 90 degrees). The correct term to describe her bottom would be “callipygia” which is a “well-shaped buttocks”. All of you are probably so used to seeing women with little or no buttocks that a slight protrusion would be steatogypia to you.

What’s at issue? Follow me below the fold.

. . . of which I wrote, “Steatopygia is an inherited, non-pathologic accumulation of fat in the buttocks. Although common among the Khoisan of Africa, it is also seen among certain Hollywood celebrities. Iâ€™m not naming any (J-Lo) names (J-Lo), but you get my point.”

OF COURSE Ms. Lopez is callipygian. OF COURSE I was taking a cheap shot at the size of her butt in order to squeeze a laugh out of 1% of my readership. OF COURSE I only included this quiz question because I wanted an excuse to plaster her butt all over my blog.

Still am. Hah!

But I do love how this commenter breezes in and accuses me of being stupid. The correct term, sir, is sophomoric!
