Example Citations:

In appearance, the Biniki is similar to the kind of complicated Victorian undergarments you read about in your Brontes class in college. Consisting of two leg loops and a waistband, this foundation garment encircles the buttocks and "lifts and smoothes" the back of the upper thigh (which, when you hit 30, may or may not look like a burlap bag full of doorknobs). This device is often referred to, subtly, as a "butt bra."

Regarding Mark's disdain for Australia's alliance with the United States, the obvious point needs to be stressed. The US has given us The Simpsons, South Park, Hungry Jack's, David Letterman, McNuggets, Mr Ed, Starbucks, novelisations of film musicals, liposuction, Survivor, free internet porn, Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith and butt bras. Lay off.
