Larry and other neologism-fans--
     I made it up.  I figured if 'callipygian' meant "having 
beautifully proportioned buttocks", then a prefix meaning 'bad' or 
'abnormal' or 'impaired' ('dysa') followed by 'pygian' ought to 
present an image of what happens to someone's backside rudely prodded 
by a trombone slide.
