Definitions
A colourfully vulgar slang term for the anus, born from the visual similarity between a puckered ring and a cheerio (the small cocktail sausage popular at kiwi and Aussie parties). The 'leather' component adds a texture-based layer that makes the image even more vivid — and the combination lands somewhere between gross-out humour and genius folk poetry. Classic antipodean slang: simultaneously crude, inventive, and oddly cheerful.
He was so tight with money his mates joked he had a leather cheerio for a wallet.

- arse cheeks70%
British and Australian vulgar slang for the two rounded masses of flesh that make up the buttocks. The term is anatomically direct and carries a register somewhere between crude and clinical — less aggressive than some alternatives, but firmly informal. Used both literally in body-related contexts and figuratively in expressions of disbelief or exasperation. Also appears in comedy contexts where the exaggerated formality of 'cheeks' against the bluntness of 'arse' is part of the joke.
- arse cheeks67%
British and Commonwealth vulgar slang for the buttocks, specifically both halves of the rear end. Functionally equivalent to the North American ass cheeks. Used in both literal contexts and as a mildly vulgar intensifier. Common and unremarkable in casual British speech; the vulgarity registers as mild by British standards and causes little offense in informal settings. The compound is perfectly transparent in meaning and causes no ambiguity; its mildly vulgar character is simply part of the natural range of British casual speech.
