But those who get buttshot are ''relatively'' fortunate -- a lot of flesh, but not many blood vessels, and it's not too close to any major organs and as long as the round wasn't ridiculously large. ''[[GroinAttack No, those don't count]]'', we mean ''really'' major things like your heart and lungs.

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin -- a character takes a bullet to the hindquarters. The ultimate in AmusingInjuries which, as well as being OnlyAFleshWound, is an assisted LiteralAssKicking by a bullet to the buttocks. Or an arrow. Or a bolt of lightning. Or anything. Usually PlayedForLaughs because, seriously, a bullet to the ass?
