Some of the barre workouts call it the "seat". That's clear and inoffensive.

There's a funny bit in Core Fusion Body Sculpt where you've just finished the, er, SEAT segment, you sit down in a nice meditative cross-legged pose (in tone, it's a very mellow zen-like workout), and then Elisabeth says very loudly, "You're well on your way to a firm ... BUTT!"

Hmmm, how do these sound? Brand New Seat and More, I Want That Seat, Better Body Better Seat, Amped Rockin' Seat. Kinda makes me think were talking auto upholstery!

that makes me giggle all the time because anything ballet barre ish goes "seat" and everytime elisabeth goes BUTT! it jolts me because it's like OOUH! you said the "B!" word!

Bikini bothers me. It makes me cringe because I don't wear a bikini, I will never wear a bikini and i don't need to get bikini ready AT ALL. and it irritates me to no end when i am previewing it (i can tune it out no problem during the actual workout) or i see the title and it says "Get Bikini Ready in no time" so I nominate (even though I LOVE this workout)

Minna Lessig's Tank Top Arms, Bikini Belly and Boy Shorts Bottom. (Not only is it a mouthful, but it has bikini in it and for the longest time I didn't know what boy shorts WERE, then my friend told me and i was like why the heck would I want to have a bottom to wear shorts like that!)

Butt doesn't bother me--after all, it's short for buttocks. But what I'm waiting for are workouts from Cathe that use her two favorite euphemisms--maybe something like Chiseled Cheeks and Hot Hineys.

Same here. It's also a play on words as in "butt end of a cigarette".

I hate "bum" used in a workout - to me it sounds slightly vulgar and inappropriate.

"Seat" is way too twee for me.

this is pretty bad but....

when I first bought Jari Loves "Ripped to the Core" by boyfriend said it sounded like prison rape.

Tamilee Webb has some cheeseball ideas added to her titles: "Hot Spots," "Tighter Assets" or "Rock Hard Assets."

I thought the Firm's "Skills, Drills & Thrills" & "Dangerous Curves Ahead" were two of worst, wordiest titles ever.
