(slang, vulgar) The anus.
(slang, chiefly, UK) The anal sphincter.
Ringpiece is British slang for the anal sphincter — the ring-shaped muscle at the, shall we say, exit. It's crude but not aggressive, the kind of anatomical slang that pops up in British comedy, locker room talk, and irreverent conversation. Compared to more aggressive alternatives, ringpiece has an almost cheerful bluntness — it describes what it describes without pretending to be anything fancier. Common in UK English and recognizable across the English-speaking world to anyone who's watched enough British sitcoms.
A playful, slightly coy euphemism for the anus — cinnamon ring uses the visual similarity of the spice's circular form to describe anatomy in a way that's crude but with a wink rather than full-on vulgarity. It shows up in bawdy humor, adult comedy, and frank discussions of topics that might otherwise require clinical language. The food metaphor softens the edge while keeping the meaning unmistakable.
