Buttocks is just another name for your bum or bottom. When you sit down, you are sitting on your buttocks. Medically, the back of the body is known as the posterior side. So your buttocks is posterior, located between your thighs and waist. Buttocks is sometimes called "the posterior". In laymen's terms, rather than medical terms, most people call it their "butt", short for buttocks.
