Watching HSN

The host was showing an Iman dress so she was focusing on the bust and using the term "the girls" which bugs me but then she says "so if you don't have the ta tas to wear this .... WTH.

I can't stand those stupid slang terms for breasts. They could have said the bust, the bosom, or something else. Tacky tacky tacky.

I have heard a QVC host call them boobs. When I mentioned that it wasn't appropriate on these forums, my post was removed by the mods for not being appropriate. Go figure. I wonder if thread will be removed too.

Well...I guess some people just get offended by everything. Apparently, you are one of those people. SMH.

Not everything and not offended just think that naming body parts using silly slang terms is childish. Call them what they are ... breasts or chest.

Some people are "offended" by other's opinions.

@rms1954 totally agree with you and I too hate these terms for breasts.

I prefer and use the term 'chest' or 'chest area', or 'across the chest', etc.

I noticed that too and I was like, what the heck?! I turned the channel. Whoever directed her to focus on this was so wrong

Not offended @mjd0625 . It's just crude using those slang terms.

I’m not offended at all. I just can’t stand the silly terms “girls” or “ta-tas”. Call them by their real name; what’s the big deal?

Why not just call it the bust area, like the OP did in her post? That's what that area been called for many years. Nothing overly goofy or slangy about it. When someone starts using lots of euphemisms that tells me they're uncomfortable or embarrassed.

Not offended or bugged, though. If I'd heard that kind of talk I probably would have rolled my eyes at the host trying a little too hard.

@rms1954

I agree with you.

Inappropriate. Think of it this way: If that language had been used by a male host, there would have been a big brouhaha and calls for the host to step down from the on-air duty.

We have to get to the point where women (okay, men too) are not admired or ridiculed for their physical attributes. Skills, accomplishments, character..all that should count for more.

Language is powerful. Words matter. We should be thoughtful about what we say and write.

"the girls" is my circle of pals, not my boobs.
