People have been calling this summertime affliction swamp ass since at least 1995, when one anonymous internet Usenet poster told another “your mother smells like swamp ass” in, as it happens, an icy argument about hockey. The slang made its Urban Dictionary debut in 2002.

Swamp ass got a signal boost in 2011, when actor and nerd icon Nathan Fillion issued a humorous PSA about the dangers of developing swamp ass while gaming: “Prolonged gaming sessions can create a humid, bayou-style climate in the back of your pants.”

The term stuck, and the arrival of summer each year is marked by articles, listicles, and advice columns online helping readers avoid the quagmire of swamp ass.
