What's the thing between the pant legs?

Question

What is the piece that holds the pant legs together called? Is there an "official¹" name? Or is there just a commonly agreed on term?

enter image description here

¹Official meaning something mentioned, even in passing, by Lego in some way.

They are referred to as "Minifig Hips" almost everywhere: [partlink:970:4].

The LEGO Pick-a-brick service doesn't sell them without legs, and just refers to the whole construction as "Mini Figure Mini Lower Part":

Since that's utterly boring, I suggest we just start calling the thing what it actually is: a thong. Or a speedo.

@Joubarc Like the Beach Troopers from the LEGO Star Wars games?

And surely it's only a thong/speedo they are a different colour from the the legs, otherwise it's just waistband and flys/hips.

I once used the hips as rollers in a set, they look a bit like that with legs removed
