mooning
Mooning is the art of displaying one's bare buttocks by removing clothing, e.g., by lowering the backside of one's trousers and underpants, usually bending over, whether also exposing the genitals or not. Mooning is used in the English-speaking world to express protest, scorn, disrespect, or provocation or can be done for shock value, fun or as form of exhibitionism. Some jurisdictions regard mooning to be indecent exposure, sometimes depending on the context.
==Word history==
''Moon'' has been a common shape-metaphor for the buttocks in English since 1743, and the verb ''to moon'' has meant "to expose to (moon)light" since 1601.〔 〕 As documented by McLaren, "'mooning', or exposing one's butt to shame an enemy () had a long pedigree in peasant culture" throughout the Middle Ages, and in many nations.
Formerly, "mooning" was slang for "wandering idly" and "romantically pining".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moon )〕
Although the practice of mooning was widespread by the 19th century, the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' dates the use of "moon" and "mooning" to describe the act to student slang of the 1960s, when the gesture became increasingly popular among students at universities in the United States.
