What are Glutes?
by Akira Kato
June 13, 2003
When June was away from her desk, I happened to pass by and the screen of her desktop attracted my eyes, which took a look at the following:
What the heck are glutes? I’ve been living in Canada for more than 20 years, yet seldom seen this word—if never saw one. Am I forgetful letely? Oh, no, I’m not that old yet. Once the word sneaked into the back of my mind, I could hardly shake that out. Even after I returned to my desk, the word kept me in puzzle. So I went over to June’s desk again and sat down to take a quick look at the related pages to find out its meaning. June must know the word since she is a pure Canadian and born linguist. She even learned Japanese at the language school. She can speak French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Japanese—her latest acquisition. If I had asked her, she would have told me the meaning right away. However, the word appeared so simple. She might say, “Oh, you don’t know this? Even a six-year-old can tell you about it.” She herself is 20 years my junior. The old Japanese saying goes: “Ask even if you get ashamed; if not, that would be a shame for your life.” But I’m like her father figure. I just cannot ask her like a five-year-old. By all means, I had to find it out before June returned to her work. To make a long story short, I eventually came up with the following screen:
Oh, yeesss! This is it! Glues must mean buttocks. The “butts” in that pan clealy suggests its meaning. To make sure, I searched Google.com. When I came up with a Health & Fitness Glossary page, the word popped up. It turned out that the word had been used by some fitness buffs and bodybuilders.
Since June is a fitness buff, she must know this word. The above picture was taken while she worked as trainer. Once she was chosen as the “Fit Woman of the Year” at her fitness club. This one was posted on the bulletin board at the club. So, even if I post this in my page, she wouldn’t sue me for infringement of her privacy, I hope. What? You want to know who have such great glutes in the middle picture? Each time you see the popup window, close it before you click another butt. Otherwise, the popup window would hide in the task bar at bottom. In case you cannot see a popup window, it is hidden in the task bar. Click the icon on the task bar, then the popup window will zoom up to its original size.
Wanna see a DVD movie? Why not buy one at a bargain?
REVIEW:
Veteran hack director Sidney J. Furie directs the silly straight-to-video comedy Rock My World. The aging stuffy English aristocrats Lord and
Lady Foxley (Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright) have fallen on hard
times, so they loan out the use of their mansion to the American rock
band Global Heresy. When the band's bass player mysteriously
disappears, Nat (Alicia Silverstone) shows up to replace him.
Then the servants don't show up, and the Foxleys are forced to
pose and a maid and a butler in their own mansion. The culture
class between the conservative English and the reckless Americans
is played for comedy, leading to an ending where the power of rock
& roll transforms both cultural groups. | ||||||||||||||||||
