大腿 (dàtuǐ) refers to the thigh, which is the upper part of the leg, while 屁股 (pìgu) specifically refers to the buttocks.
Be cautious about using 屁股 in formal situations, as it is more informal and can be considered slang. Common collocations include phrases like '扭屁股' (niǔ pìgu - to wiggle one's butt) or '屁股痛' (pìgu tòng - sore butt).
As an HSK 6 word, 屁股 connects with other body-related vocabulary like '手' (shǒu - hand) and '脚' (jiǎo - foot). Focus on using it in context to describe actions or feelings that involve the body.
