Breasts not "boobs" or even worse, "girls"

Just heard Breezies rep (daughter of founder??) call breasts, boobs. Host Amy used correct term, breasts. I think the term, boobs came in when women were embarassed to call breasts, breasts. Then, later the more modern, "girls" came in. I don't know why women feel they can't call parts of their anatomy by the correct term. It's as if it's something to be ashamed of. What are we teaching our daughters about their bodies?

I'd rather "boobs" than what my 22 year old daughter says. She uses the T word.

I've always like the word bosom.

To each their own. I just want everyone to have healthy ones, whatever you want to call them. BC itself is more important than what we call our body parts.

Had a Doctor tell me many yrs ago abt when he was in Medical School. He was caring for a patient from very rural West Va who said she had history of " fire balls in her Eucharist ". Come to find out she had " fibroids in the uterus ".

Prefer proper terms regarding anatomy . Breast is waht I say.

I also don't care for the use of the word "hiney" (however it's spelled). Sounds like something a five year old would say.

At my age they are no longer girls, but ladies. 🤣🤣

I agree I hate the T word.

I agree. They talk like adolescents. I expect better from grown women.
