Is there a less slang-like term for ‘doggy-style’?

Like the title states, I’m wondering if there is a more official wording to describe ‘doggy-style’ - the position of intercourse where one partner is on elbows and knees whilst the other partner enters from behind.

It seems that a synonym is actually hard to find, though not impossible.

You can find a few here :

 It is described in the Kama Sutra as the cow position or the congress of a cow.

In Latin it is known as Coitus more ferarum, or "sexual intercourse in the manner of wild beasts".

You may also use other terms which describe modified versions of the doggy-style, like leapfrog style or froggy style.
