A tight fit 566z2p

Visiting my German girlfriend's family for the first time, I had the opportunity to meet her very elderly grandparents. After dinner, we all retired to the sitting room, where her grandparents sat at either end of the sofa. The only space left was between them but it was a close fit. As I was bending to take my seat, her grandmother started to get up, insisting that she could find somewhere to sit. In an attempt to reassure her that my backside was small enough for the space, I announced that I had einen engen Po. Once the laughter subsided, I was informed that I had einen schmalen Po, although it might be possible that I had a 'tight butt', too!

You could just say: Ich habe genug Platz, I've got enough space. ;o)

You could also say einen 'kleinen' Po.
