Exactly. The thing between two butt cheeks is sweat. How could I not think of that?!?

There is a word that describes the similarities of physical constructions (natural) that are duplicated in vastly different scales. Atoms with their shells of electrons and stars with planets, for instance. Or an arroyo in a cow pasture and the Grand Canyon. I wish I could read the tip of my tongue because that word is there, I just know it.

According to the Gospel of D.Adams the bead of sweat that runs down between a plump man's buttocks is an elsrickle.

Sweetwater ... I know what you mean, that sort of thing is found widely, especially in fractal geometry. I don't recall having heard any particular word for it though. You should make one up: micro-resemblance; polyscalic similarity; dismensuric tropism....

hehe

I actually walked down the aisle here and asked my neighbor "what's that word where...." and his correct answer was "advocate".

I'll keep you posted on the next oneS. This happens to me all the time. Sometimes I'm able to answer my own question, sometimes not.

Do you mean the guy that did that thing with the other thing and the other guy said something?

sw: I know this isn't the term you're looking for, but self-similarity has many of the same concepts. As does scale invariance.
