Mooning
| Students at Stanford University mooning at a well-attended protest (and world record attempt) in May 1995 |
Mooning is the act of displaying one's bare buttocks by lowering the backside of one's trousers and underpants without exposing the front side, bending forward. It is generally considered a rude and disrespectful or insulting act, but is much less offensive than flashing. It is often performed as a form of protest or simply for fun. Mooning is sometimes performed from a moving vehicle. The act of placing one's buttocks against glass while mooning (for example, a car window) is known as a pressed ham.
The film Braveheart contains a scene in which over a thousand Scottish warriors moon the English forces.
