what does "rear bumper" mean other than rear bumper? In the new Doctor Who season 2 episode New Earth, Cassandra went in the body of Rose, and looking at herself in the mirror, she said "nice rear bumper", while touching her own bottocks. The question is, do people in the real life actually use "rear bumper" to mean this? Or is it just used in TV? If I ask someone "what does rear bumper mean except the original meaning?" will they answer "buttocks"?

A more common expression for a woman's buttocks is "rear end." "Bumper" is slang for something unusually large, so "rear bumper" is used to talk about a woman's buttocks when they are larger than average.

it's just a metaphor for ass,as you have said, i've heard rear bumper once before, i think they said that because it's not as "filthy" as ass
