: It's the same as PITA. Sitter = what you sit with; aka bum, kiester, buttocks, bottom, derriere, gluteus maximus, ...

It's a minor point, but none of the dictionaries at my disposal allowed me to look up "kiester." They all insisted on "keister," prounounced kiester. It originally meant a suitcase or sachel, sometimes a sample case. SS
