Terribull you are norty ?

Good stuff Terri!

Lisagran once you’ve finished starching the covers on the piano stool legs perhaps you could don your dainty ballet pumps and skip through the woodland gathering wild flowers to fill your jugs.

What a delightful premise you propose. In fact something very similar was suggested to me by the vicar yesterday when he found me polishing the pews

Is the vicar inclined to euphemism

Lisagran was the vicar inspecting the the church organ stops and chapel hat pegs?

Grandmajet Lefty and Righty always work as a pair, pointing in the same direction.

Anyone got a spare Tena? May a have laughed a little indelicately...

TeriBull for the win! ?

Lisagran was the vicar inspecting the the church organ stops and chapel hat pegs?. Now you mention it, Blossoming, the vicar was certainly in a very unusual position by the lectern. However, I averted my eyes and proceeded to fill my jugs ready for the altar later

My mate at work was a first aider, and had a badge saying that on her front, just about where her boob was, and one bloke asked her what the other one was called.

Ten years ago I was at dinner on a cruise holiday (10 on the table) when one woman cupped her rather meagre ones and said rather loudly "This is Pinky and this one is Perky. She was altogether odd and moved to a single table within a few days. It was certainly a conversation stopper!

Good lord. That wasn't you, was it BlueBelle?

In secondary school ( high school) the boys used to call them knockers.

Referring to name badges, I always had to wear one at work, just grateful my name isn't Pat or Phil

T word

Ooh, very coy Rosalyn

As long as they are in a sheep dog bra
“Rounded up and pointed in the right direction “
I’d call them lucky!
Confession coming..........
I haven’t worn a bra since the beginning of the latest lockdown, o’er missus !!!

DH refers to The Puppies and loves it when they’re allowed to run loose.....

I always thought they’d act as bumpers if I fell but they scarpered out of the way at Christmas when I tripped delivering cards early one morning!

I dislike the word 'boobs'. It must have been adopted originally because people were unreasonably coy about calling them what they are - breasts. Why? After all, we don't boob-feed babies and I have never heard of anyone having boob cancer. I note that the operative word in the heading is 'bosoms'. Again why? 'Bosom' used to be (maybe still is) a collective expression for a pair of breasts and the whole chest area. Strictly speaking you can't have two bosoms.

I use "bazooms" if I am talking facetiously. Otherwise they are breasts.

annodomini I hope that you are strong of stomach...
On MN I have seen the word boob used as a verb eg 'boobed the baby' ie breast fed the child

Annodomini I used bosoms plural in the title as I was referring to the bosoms of many.

No names here, except right after having babies, when they were Hot Concrete Footballs One and Two.

Mind you that was when I came to appreciate being less than bountifully endowed, though in my teens I’d always longed for a pair of knockout knockers. Or at least a proper cleavage, anyway.
Luckily dh was always more of a leg man.

I've called mine 'my twins' on occasion, though generally refer to them as boobs.

I've generally had the opposite wish: being well endowed I wish they were smaller. My ex was a boobs man, and he was a real pain with them.

I call them breasts when speaking formally but boobs in casual conversations. Yes LoobyLou boys back in 60s70s used to say 'Knockers' Nowadays I've heard women refer to them as 'Girls' and 'Puppies'. Not sure what young lads call them nowadays!!

@WishIwasyounger, a very well endowed friend once told me that she’d weighed hers - one and a half stone each!

I had to tell her that even when I was bigger and fatter than in my slender youth, I still didn’t have enough to put in the kitchen scales!

My dh said he would call them mild and bitter in his youth and following joining the navy they were known as port and starboard. He says the best size is a boob which will fit into an old fashioned champagne class. He loved the thread and we had a few chuckles. Nice to laugh, thanks.
