A Tv commercial when I was a kid featured a western actor talking about his job and jumping off a rooftop onto his horse. When the director called cut the actor said "Oh my hemorroids" (sp?) and went on to sell whatever product the ad was for. So because of that commercial I used to believe that the technical name for everyones back side was "hemorroids" and I called my own ass my "hemorroids" several times between the ages of 4 and 5 before being told not to.
