Hello Everyone smile

Inspired by another thread (thank you BlueBelleflowers).

What names has your enbonpointment (I hope that's the word confused) been given, even by yourself or AN Other?

Rather disappointingly, I don't recall my pair ever being referred to as anything much, but for the purposes of this thread I'm going with Porgy and Bess.

Anyone else? Thank you in advance!

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

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 envy

JackyB Mon 22-Feb-21 09:26:08

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

annodomini Mon 22-Feb-21 09:12:07

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.

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!

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 !!!

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

TeriBull for the win! ?

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

LauraNorder Sun 21-Feb-21 14:10:00

Is the vicar inclined to euphemism

Lisagran Sun 21-Feb-21 14:06:28

LauraNorder

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

FannyCornforth Sun 21-Feb-21 14:01:16

Good stuff Terri!

LauraNorder Sun 21-Feb-21 13:59:08

Terribull you are norty ?

TerriBull Sun 21-Feb-21 13:37:28

I don't have any names, but apropos of the other thread, maybe Harry and Meghan, insomuch as they are high profile, they no longer serve any useful purpose and I'd really like them to just go away!

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 13:37:03

Blossoming, do they argue on election days?

Blossoming Sun 21-Feb-21 13:34:41

Lefty and Righty ?

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 13:19:45

I suppose mine did at one time resemble Pinky and Perky, as suggested by BlueBelle. More like Jelly and Bean now!

Marydoll Sun 21-Feb-21 13:12:02

Lisa, I have run out of smelling faults and cant get to the shops, so I may have to avoid threads which upset me.?
