Note
A plain -s plural, and only the noun takes it: the preposition behind, as in behind the barn, has no plural at all. In everyday speech the plural counts people, one rear each, unlike buttocks, which is already plural for a single person. The same form serves the scoring sense (two behinds on the board) and the Eton field game, where the behinds are a group of players.
