Shortened slang for sacroiliac.

From John Simon's recent book:

"When a stripper proclaims that, without a gimmick, 'You can sacrifice your sacro / Working in the back row' there is more to this than an ingeniously ambushing rhyme. There is the word play on 'sacrifice' and "sacro,' suggestively coupling the sacred and the profane; the cozily butch irreverence of addressing the sacroiliac by its nickname; and, above all, the ambitiousness, perhaps even exhibitionism, with which a chorine jockeys for the front position."

In short, you gotta have a gimmick, if you want to get ahead...

I'll take this as a serious question. Like Yankeefan and Simon, I always took it as your back and pelvis, and the stressors that strippers put on them.

Maybe I was wrong. Kinda doubt it.

In the song "South America, Take It Away" from the revue "Call Me Mister", Betty Garrett complained about having "a crack in the back of my sacroiliac" from too much Samba/Rhumba/Conga dancing.

Yeah, it (the sacrum) is the bone between your two hip bones, at the base of the spine and above the coccyx (tail bone).

Basically it's a pain in the asss.
