Hips allow primates to sit upright without having to put weight on their feet like four-legged animals. Some species of female baboons have red buttocks and will "blush" to attract males. As far as human beings are concerned, because of the high subcutaneous fat content and wide buttocks, women often have wider and thicker buttocks.
Some baboons and all gibbons, although covered with fur, have typical naked calluses on their hips. Although human children usually have smooth buttocks, mature men and women have different degrees of hair growth, just like other parts of their bodies. Women usually have hair growth in the gluteal sulcus (especially around the anus), which usually extends laterally to the lower part of the cheek. In addition to these areas, men usually have hair growth on most (or all) of their buttocks.
The English word "callipygian" from Greece means a person with beautiful buttocks. However, the quality of "beauty" or "symmetry" of buttocks is not fixed, because the sexual aesthetics of buttocks are very different in different cultures, different fashion periods and even different people.
In ancient astrology, all parts of the body were associated with the zodiac-such as hips and balance. According to the context, exposing buttocks in non-intimate occasions usually causes shame, embarrassment or humiliation for non-nudists, and embarrassment or entertainment for non-voyeurs (see "pantsing"). Expressions such as "caught with pants off" or more specifically "met de billenbroot" in Dutch also use this image to describe non-physical embarrassment.
Students from Stanford University made a "collective moon landing" on May 1995. Deliberately exposing one's bare buttocks to protest, provoke or just for fun (especially but not limited to young people, such as members of the North American Brotherhood) is called "mooning".

It is no coincidence that the English verb spank is the only verb that specifically refers to corporal punishment on a specific part of the body. Other languages also have terms that specifically refer to spanking. In many punishment traditions, from education to justice, buttocks are the first choice for painful lessons, because providing them for punishment (especially deprivation) will increase psychological embarrassment and even sexual humiliation, which is lower than the risk of long-term physical injury in other places. In various cultural traditions, there are expressions like "black ears in the buttocks" (for example, in Uganda) or "seat of learning", which refer to the priority pain of the buttocks in the submissive bending and exposed position.
Many comedians, writers and others rely on hips as a source of entertainment, friendship and fun in these and other ways (such as flatulence and toilet humor), although (or in some cases) there is a risk of questionable taste if not censored.
Because hips are rarely exposed in most cultures, they are generally considered unsuitable for decorative body marks and body modifications, but may be more suitable for discreet marks, such as secret membership certificates or displays in intimate companies (such as between lovers).
In American English, phrases use buttocks or synonyms (especially butt and arse/ass) to refer to the whole person, but they usually have negative meanings. For example, firing an employee may be described as "firing his ass". Someone may say "move your ass" or "drag your ass away" (or polite and understood euphemisms "move it" or "drag it away") as an exhortation to greater haste or urgency. Expressed as a function of punishment, failure or attack becomes "kicking someone's ass". Such phrases can also imply a person's characteristics, for example, difficult people are called "hard ass" (polite euphemism: "stubborn"). People who are considered too puritanical or appropriate may be called "tight ass" (in Australia and New Zealand, "tight ass" refers to people who are too stingy). A nuisance or any source of depression can be called a nuisance (euphemism: "nuisance", although some people claim that this so-called euphemism actually appeared in English earlier than the former).
It is controversial that some physiological characteristics of buttocks, especially size, are sometimes identified as racial characteristics. Perhaps the most famous intersection of racism and buttock is Salje batman, the so-called Hottentot Venus.
