Surprised it didn’t go tits up immediately.
Nice abstract concepts
Nice Nancy Reagan Nakeds!
I mean… it’s not a particularly great word. But there’s a clear etymology from teat via tit to titties. It’s probably one of the least stupid slang words for breasts.
Actually, “breasts” is a stupid term. People have one breast. Well, in Germanic languages, at least, and that’s where the word comes from. It translates to “chest” in English pretty well, which is another level of stupid because you don’t open it up and store stuff there.
And if you go down that etymological route, then it’s also not a gross word.
I mean, language changes, and if younger folk want to change their slang, I’m all for it. But the next generation, I’m sure, will laugh even more at “tiddies”.
Even on this very website, it’s a titular reference.
It’s well on its’ way to being a total bust.
You two are quite the pair.
You know me; it’s always “tit for tat.”
tWat? I cunt hear you? I have a slut ear infucktion. Butt it’s okay: you’re my breast friend.
Can’t remember now who used to call them her breastesses…
*titters uncontrollably
That quote omits the best one: Tater Tits.
I prefer the term “double pleasure nozzles” myself, though I realize that’s a mouthful.
My mammary must be going bust, haven’t we been here before?
Aside: “Take your hand off my breast,” she tittered. was one of the notable entries in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.
The foster home name for the tiny cat we once adopted was “Titmouse.” We thought that to be an inappropriate name for a cat, however small, and provided no reasonable nicknames we would want to use (“Mouse?” “Titty?”). Her name became Gloriosa, or Glori for short.
But back to the topic at hand, so to speak. How about gloriosas?

The source of the problem, is admirers of the female form (mostly men) don’t like to take responsibility for the fascination, so they make the thing they’re admiring sound stupid and childish, so they feel less anxious about feeling stupid and childish in the fascination.
And that’s the root of so goddam much rape culture, and to even try to talk about it on those terms makes man boys even more uncomfortable, so things have got to stay where they are. Yuck!
