I was cruising a few porn sites just this morning, when I saw a slang term that really urinated me off. It showed an interview with one of the models.
Guess how she referred to her breasts?
“Boobies”.
Whoever made up that term should be machine-gunned. Same thing with the inventor of “bootylicious” and “hooters”, not to mention that gawdawful “drinky-poo” to describe an alcoholic beverage. As a matter of fact, if you are over the age of 30 and you still put the suffix “poo” at the end of any word, you are a waste of human DNA and should end your life at once.

Awww, does wittle pace-wace need a kweenex? You just stay away from that big bad internet.
Suck my dicky-poo.
(I’m only 28 so I figure I might as well use it while I still can. :))

Hey, pass me that hair-washing stuff in the bottle. The aloe-paba-hydroxy-no more tears-moisturizing-bee pollen stuff. I can’t say they name of it, because then I will have to end my life.
I do however, agree that calling them “boobies” or “titties” kinda takes the sexiness out of it.

I think “funbags” is the worst.

Not as bad as “joy pillows.”
Okay, I admit I just made that up.

Ta-tas.
Cha-hoobies.
Chachongas.
Bazoombas.
And why the fuck should you care what she calls her breasts?
**Fr. P** , you really need to find a hobby. One that doesn’t involve one-handed typing, perhaps.

**ThisYearsGirl** , your sig is now my favourite. Is it real? Not that it matters… we’re here for punk’s entertainment, not punk for ours…
Anyhoo just a quick hijack to mention how freaked out I was by hearing a penis referred to as a “Willy” for the first time in a movie, in Steve Martin’s _Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid._ That had always been my private and particularly Glaswegian name, passed to me by my father, and his father, and his… to see it granted international status so unexpectedly was… almost worth a post.
Sorry.
To be honest, though, previous to my marriage, if a particularly attractive lady had made some reference to her “boobies”, I’m not sure it would have taken much of the sexiness away. In fact it would only have raised my nervous giggling by a couple of octaves. You could call them “Ronald and Donald” and I wouldn’t have lost interest. It takes more than _that_ to dispel a man’s interest.

On _Drew Carey_ one time they called them “shabadoos.” How’s that for weird? Although, I must admit, it is rather fun to say.

Just call 'em “tits”, people! Or breasts. Breasts are nice. Breasts breasts breasts…
Then again, keep in mind that there are some people who REALLY get off on “childish” behavior. While “boobies” may seem unsexy to you, there’s some dude up in Alaska or out in Florida who’s whacking off, right now, to that word.

After posting a whole five minutes ago, I thought of something else I needed to add.
I hate when people say “bress.” Pronounce the ‘T’, please! It’s there for a reason. Say it with me now: Breasssttttttts.
Thank you.

I must stand up and make a strong defense of “drinky-poo.” This one has **Dean Martin circa 1965** written all over it.
