I don't believe it to be English, Wee - the only reference to tush in

the Concise Oxford English Dictionary is as a Middle English (ie very

archaic) expression of disapproval or as another word for a tusk.

Wikipedia says it may come from a Yiddish word,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tush

I forgot behind, backside and nether regions! What a very weird

discussion and very OT!
