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.

Like shitting in the woods...

@Haniazed Exactly, that's the kind of thing it brings to mind.
@Haniazed Known as the third world squat for a reason

@BeefySenpie Ok nobody calls it "the third world squat." If anything, squatting is mostly associated with second world contries because of Slavs. Haven't you ever seen the memes of that? They always show Russians and other Slavic people sitting in a squatting position and eating sunflower seeds while drinking vodka, it's part of "gopnik" culture.
@BeefySenpie never heard of that😅

@Haniazed It's a legit thing, look up "squatting Slavs" and look at the images, tons of pics of Russian guys and other Eastern European people posing in that sitting position. It has nothing to do with shitting though, it's a thing that developed in Russian prison culture because guys would sit like that to play dice in their cells.

@BeefySenpie What is "mobility guardian?" And this is about exercise, it has nothing to do with shitting in the woods.

Look up "gopnik" on Wikipedia and it has a segment about squatting.
