I look thru stores, online shopping, etc. The titles of these workouts are downright obnoxious, for example" Build a better booty!!" , BUTT shred!!! etc etc. Its rather annoying...oh well whatever....just a random thought.....am I the only one that thinks they are rude???

    i don't know how using the words "butt" and "booty" are sleezy, awkward, or obnoxious.. but that's a matter of opinion, i suppose

    I thought this was going to be about the snatch, clean and jerk... which makes me giggle about as much as "fish taco."

    I don't see a problem with it. I mean that's what they're targeting. What should they say "I beg your pardon but would you be interested in obtaining a better looking gluteus Maximus?" People would have no clue what you were talking about never mind the fact that the title would never fit on a DVD!

    A snatch is a kettlebell move. Clean jerk to a high pull to the snatch baby! (look it up on youtube.com).

    What would you like them to be called, exactly? Seriously. Is there a word you wouldn't object to? Bottom? Bum? Or are we just not supposed to talk about it at all?

    Ha! This really made me laugh so hard I snorted. Today this random bro at the gym was trying to hit on me by telling me : "you have really nice gluteus muscles, would you like to go out to dinner sometime?" So you can can use the anatomical terms and still be totally sleazy.

    To the OP: the names don't bother me, but I am not one to censor myself.
