PLUMBER'S BUTT the phenomenon where the top of a person's buttocks are visible due to their pants being too low-waisted, causing them to pull down when the person bends over. The children giggled when the repairman knelt down to look under the sink, because it revealed his plumber's butt.

SNOW ANGEL an angel-like pattern imprinted on the snow's surface, created by lying on your back in fresh snow and making sweeping motions with your outstretched arms and legs. After the first snowfall of the year, the children headed out to the park to make snow angels.
