Breasts not "boobs" or even worse, "girls" - Page 3

I personally prefer "breast". But I am not offended by "boobs" or "girls". I do think it is more professional for the anatomical term to be used when discussing the features of "double barrell slingshots"..... yes I am channeling my inner Ellie Mae Clampet

I think I like the chest reference best. Especially since we are talking about TV here and broadcast to millions of viewers. I wouldn't think it would be offensive to anyone or embarrass anyone to use that term. It's not too personal.

As far as the hind end goes - we have booty, rump, rear, and derriere(sp?). Dare I say caboose, bottom, _ss, bum, butt?

I usually call it a rear end or butt. But I hardly, if ever, even refer to it at all.

Breasts. Or when referring to the general area décolleté.

I have been known to say "girls" on ocassion. This is particularly true when posting here. When I do it is done jokingly and I'm not taking myself so serious. Otherwise, breast[s] is the proper term.

Thing is, we can't walk around using the proper term for the rest of our private parts sooooo, this is not that big of a deal to me.

What are we teaching our daughters about their bodies?
I've always like the word bosom.

My mom always used the term bosom @MildredM . I haven't heard that in a while.

I like hooters, chi chi’s, and tatas too, but I don’t want anyone clutching their pearls.

Hold onto that feeling and you've got how I feel about Susan Graver's presentations! Always talking about 'covering up'. I often ponder how that's affecting little girls that may be watching with mom or grandma. They're (constantly) hearing the message their body is something to hide....
