ChrisP One Kenobe’s thread, ‘How many names for the male “member”’ got me to thinking. They say the Eskimos have what? 17 words for the word “snow.” The more a society is obsessed with something, more words it seems to have for it. Look at women’s breasts: Boobs, babies, beach balls, Bardots, barrels, basketballs, baskets, bazookas, bazongas, balloons, bean bags, beauties, bedknobs, bee stings, bells, big enchiladas, blimps, blintzes, blooms, blossoms, bloopers, boats, bonbons, boombooms, bombs, bongos, boobies, bouncers, bowling balls, briskets, boulders, breasties, bitbits, bobbers, boppers, boingies, bubbles, bumpers, buoys… and that’s ONLY in the Bs!! ---

Well, the intensely disrespectful part of me always liked **funbags** , **norks** , **shirt bollocks** and **floury love-baps**. Pity me. ---

It’s TIGGERS, the song could have been written just for them, all you have to do is change one line “Is I’m the only one” to “Is there’s more than one”. I adopted this name when watching a Winnie the Pooh show. The wonderful thing about Tiggers Is Tiggers are wonderful things Their tops are made out of rubber Their bottoms are made out of springs They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers Is there’s more than one The wonderful thing about Tiggers Is tiggers are wonderful chaps They’re loaded with vim and vigor They love to leap in your laps They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers Is there’s more than one Tiggers are wonderful fellahs Tiggers are awfully sweet Everyone else is jealous, And that’s why I repeat… The wonderful thing about Tiggers Is Tiggers are wonderful things Their tops are made out of rubber Their bottoms are made out of springs They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers Is there’s more than one (Grrrrrrr…) ooOOooOOOoooOOOoo!!! :D:D ---

As Steve Martin said in his “I Believe” monologue, you should not call a woman’s breasts as Jugs, Winnebagos or golden bozos, but refer to them only as hooters. ---

When my brother and sister and I were kids, I picked up a number of anatomical words from them; for breasts, the word was, “tets.” Our father heard my sister and me using the term “fat tets” and angrily growled at us not to use that term, apparently since he concluded we were referring to our mother; he said the (proper?) word was “bosom,” which I thought (I was about 9 then) was spelled “buzum.” 😃 ---

I’m going to throw up. All right, I read the “squicking and felching” thread without throwing up, so I guess I’m just disgusted. [disgusted voice] I did have a boyfriend once who named mine “Jessica” and “Rachel”. He would say _“And how are Jessica and Rachel today?”_ in front of people who knew I didn’t know anybody named “Jessica” and “Rachel”. That didn’t last long. Another time, I was at a party where a drunk guy I had never met before trapped me in the bathroom and said, _“Come on…show me the Twins!”_ [/disgusted voice] ---

I may yet start a “tasteless chat-up lines” IMHO thread, but if I do “Can I buy you and your two friends a drink?” would certainly be in there. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-names-for-womens-breasts/26288.md?page=2)
