Slang term for the buttocks or rear end of a person.
From German 'Heinz,' a common name, used as rhyming slang in American English by the early 20th century. The term became popularized in military and colloquial speech as a humorous way to refer to the human backside.
This word is a perfect example of how nicknames can become slang—German soldiers were sometimes called 'Heinz' by English speakers, and rhyming patterns in language can transform innocent names into body-part humor that sticks around for generations!
