butthole (n.) also butt-hole, "anus," 1950s slang, from butt (n.6) + hole (n.). Earlier it meant "blind hole; cul-de-sac" (early 20c.).
butthole is surprisingly much later

Yeah I searched to find an example in print. Most results were “but thoſe” mistranscribed. In the early 1900s I found butt hole used as a mining term (digging a butt hole in rock then stuffing it with explosives)
