**Concerning tushes.......
Funny that I had a conversation with a fellow a just few days ago about the word 'tushes' as it related to hogs. Tushes is a word that both my great-grandmother and grandmother used and I heard it many times as long as they lived. I used (and still use) the term as well, even though at times over the years I thought it was just a mispronunciation of something like "tusks" as we southerners can do with words. I looked it up in the dictionary once and discovered tushes is the proper plural form of 'tush' meaning a long pointed tooth, and in particular the canine tooth of a male horse.....and in some Indian elephants a stunted tusk.
The term tush as most use it in reference to the butt is a slang derivative of several other words in other languages like Yiddish and Hebrew for the bottom.
