Tonight I was getting a haircut and having a discussion with the person who cuts my hair (I refuse to call her a hairdresser, because my mother goes to a hairdresser - not me, and since she's not a barber...the nondescript "person" who cuts my hair is needed) when the subject of "bleavage" came up.
You see the girl who worked the front counter of this salon was replacing the goods in the front of the store when I arrived. And she had to bend over to place the bottles of hair care products on the bottom shelf, and when she bent over her pants slid down significantly. Now the fact that she had a bright blue thong on couldn't help but accentuate her bleavage. During her work she had attracted quite a crowd on the other side of the window. A scene we could compare if all males went to the zoo and tried not to let the panda know they where watching him. So here you have this circling group of knuckle-draggers trying to look inconspicuous as they stared intently at a woman who's pants didn't fit her properly for work in a setting of that nature. I say that because I am sure her pants fit her perfectly for work at a "Girls Gone Wild" video shoot.
The lady cutting my hair and I had a good laugh about the comedy in the front window...and she said you don't know how hard it is to find pants that fit these days They either hit you WELL below the hip-line, or come up above your navel. Their seems to be no happy medium. Which is why she said she prefers boys blue jeans or jogging pants. I've heard that the low rise is on the way out...someone had better pass the news quickly...the mall is having a hard time keeping the glass clean in front t of the , uhm, er - display.
What about "TMI" for a name??

Well, according to the dictionary, "cleavage" would work just as well for the revealing backside as it does topside. However, I'm still inclined to think the latter needs its own word, and can hardly imagine the confusion that might follow a definition of the word expanded to include a revealing backside view.
Brain's suggestions are a good start, and "dirty cleft" has a nice ghetto ring to it. In fact, I can picture Lil Jon rappin' about it right now...

Definition of cleavage from dictionary.com: The state of being split or cleft; a fissure or division.

Hmmmm...great idea cancer. I can think of a few names...
"poor taste",
"Crackmire",
"backcrack",
"cranny",
"fissure of love",
"Groove Valley",
"dirty cleft"...just to name a few.

Why is it called bleavage? I'm ASSuming, of course, that it is called that because it is "B-utt" cleavage, but what I can't figure out, is why "cleavage" is called "cleavage". What about the breasts calls for the "C". I've thought through the few words I know for breasts, and can't come up with a "C" word. Am I missing something? In the END, I guess, I'm thinking to myself that "bleavage" is not necessarily the logical choice--though I can't think of a clever alternative.
Perhaps we should have a brainblenders competition for the best name for this phenomenon, with the winner getting a T-shirt?

Is it too much to hope that miniature dogs carted around in designer purses with faux fur are the next to go?

Guys and girls with sagging pants need to realize that other people really aren't interested in seeing their underwear.

I was really enjoying the show. I want the low-rise to stay!!! At least until I'm too old to see.

Funny story! Hooray for no more low rise pants! They really don't leave much to the imagination. Most of us don't have super model figures, so a little more coverage adds to the mystery. Does that mean modesty is on the way back, too?
