I was going to say "Pope's Nose" but OFFSHORE GINGER" beat me to it. When I was a kid, we always called it the "doompa". I was told it was Polish for "tail", but I've never found any translation online to verify that. Oh well, maybe someone knows what the heck doompa means, or why our family called it that.
Very funny because my Grand parents  use to say that very same thing with  both of them  being from the old country .

SconnieQ,
You just misspelled it.  My wife is Czech and uses the term al the time.  Doopa

"Doopa" is the correct pronunciation. SuperDave is correct, and my family tells me so. I hope this spreads across this forum like wildfire. Perfect word. Preserve history and funny words. My job is done.
