It's not often that a polka song reminds me of a word I'd not heard in a L O N G while. But it occurred recently upon hearing "Skippy's Bippy" on radio. Skippy is female, and her bippy is freckled. Do you know any women (nick)named Skippy, freckled bippy or no?
Yes

There may be women I know possessed of bippies, but I don't call any of them Skippy.

After hearing the song in question, the word "bippy" had been bouncing around in my noggin for a while until I had an "oh, yeah!" moment wherein I'd heard it previously. Were you familiar with the word "bippy" prior to taking this survey?

My first encounter with "bippy" was on a '60's-'70's comedy/variety TV show I've referenced in a previous survey, Laugh-In. In this clip with this question, the program's creator/executive producer explains the origin of "bippy" as a way to frustrate network censors with a word they didn't know and, it seems, a euphemism for people's anterior superior spine (or posterior, backside). Would you have guessed that to be what a bippy is?
Yes, and I may have already known that!

Regardless what the man from Laugh-In said, Dictionary.com's definition of "bippy" says that it is an unspecified body part. If that's the case, do you think everyone has a bippy? Yes, at LEAST one!
