Top nips Flipper!
Yes, you can see these old commercials on YouTube.
Seems to me that when someone comments positively on a body part that society sees as sexual, the implication is always there that you’re saying “[You/that body part of yours] really turns me on sexually.” That may not be what you want to say, but I think that’s the reality.
You win the thread. Bravo!
I tend to say “Yowsa!” or “Hubba-hubba” but many of my female Facebook friends are pin-up models or strippers.
Yes. The term is “Pbbbbbbbtttt!!!”: the motorboat sound you make when you place your face between her boobs and blow. She’ll love it!
It’s not like anyone else is directly commenting on her breasts, either. I’m not sure a guy friend or her son couldn’t have said the same things.
Bolding mine.
“Hey Mom: Nice Tits!!”
Not a comment I’d expect to hear from too many sons regardless of age. Might be evidence of an … errm … unusual … family dynamic perhaps?
Y’know, I honestly expect that in my lifetime I’ll hear that line in a TV sitcom…
The nice part about a race to the bottom is it’s almost never over. There’s always a new depth to plumb. :eek:
I’m referring to the OP, who said
I don’t see how any of those things are things men could say about “boobage” that men could not.
This line from Ally McBeal has always stuck with me, just the way the actress said it:
Renée: Ally, do you know how many men have been interested in me only because of my big, lofty goals?
“big. lofty goals” kind of overenunciated to indicate euphemism.
I’m not being 
here, but is this true? I don’t have many friends and the women I know don’t discuss boobs. But I would think boobs are right up there (heh) with things women are concerned about.
Short answer: no. Unless you wish to communicate your desire to fuck a person, don’t comment on their body parts sexually. (If you are super close friends this may not apply… but if that were the case, you wouldn’t have to ask.)
Actually, it’s bad manners to make a “personal comment” about any attribute, sexual or otherwise.
The only men who can comment on a woman’s breasts are her dress-maker, plastic surgeon, or oncologist.
Nice recycling there.
Now try applying “the roof is the introduction rule” to this case.
I’d guess yes. It’s not a part of my body I am especially invested in. But I haven’t talked to a lot of other women about it, and I might be wrong.
It works. If you and the boobs are both under her blouse, you can safely comment on them.
Well maybe not in the context of say a PTA meeting but at a party where the women have had some drinks and ALL topics come out.
Another is when they are wearing swimsuits and the topics are rather “obvious” so to speak.
I thought bras were supposed to lift and smoosh together.
Depends on which era we’re talking about. You might be too young to have lived through the “lift & separate” era.
Before anybody was willing to show any chest skin below the larynx having two separately identifiable breasts proudly poking forth from your sweater or blouse was considered *much *hotter than the full-width “uniboob” look.
Kinda like how women look now while wearing a car’s seatbelt / shoulder harness combo. But without the strapwork being visible.
Honestly, it’s a topic that mostly “comes out” among my friends if someone is having trouble nursing or has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I mean, you can SEE them when we are wearing swimsuits, but if it’s just girls, no one is going to comment on them.
