"Buttocks" can be singular?

edit

Where have you ever seen it used that way? The consensus at WT:DYK, backed up by Websters' and Wiktionary, is that you're mistaken. If you have any attestations for that use, please add them to the latter page. Daniel Case (talk) 23:38, 16 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
