I hate the word "squat". Something about it sounds so gross and ugly. But I don't know what other word to use to describe this sitting position.

@Tailspin Really? I sit like that all the time, like if I'm sitting in the grass at the park or something.

Well I might be prejudiced, I have a screwed up knee from years ago so it would probably be uncomfortable for me. No criticisms though just an opinion

@Tailspin It depends on what surface you're sitting on, and also the outfit you're wearing. If you've got on tight clothing, or high boots, it's not nearly as comfortable.
