Do you have gluteal amnesia? Do you sit on your keester way too much? Well, our back ends are bearing the brunt of our sedentary lives. According to the Cleveland Clinic, if you have an office job where you sit hunched over a desk, clicking away at a computer most of the day, you need to take steps – literally – to reduce your sedentary habits. Our bodies are built to move, so sitting for hours at a time is bad news for your health (hello dead butt syndrome). This is becoming a problem, and as COVID is changing the workplace atmosphere, we really need to rethink how we sit while we work, whether it’s remote or at the office. We need to get off our butts, or as I like to say derriere, because it sounds nicer. As stated in the Miriam Webster Dictionary: derriere is a euphemistic term for a person’s buttocks. Synonyms for derriere include the following: backside, behind, booty (also bootie), bottom, breech, bum, buns, caboose, can cheeks, duff, fanny, fundament, hams, rump, rear end, tail and tush.
There are even songs written about the booty: Bubba Sparxxx, “Ms. New Booty, KC and the Sunshine Band, “Shake Your Booty” and Trace Adkins, “Honkey Tonk Badonkadonk.” In this episode Courtney gives us information on DBS, no it’s not a boy band, it means Dead Butt Syndrome. We all need to shake our booties a lot more and dance our way through the day .
