What is it with boobs saying "boobs?"
I hate the word "boobs." Reminds me of the Match Game before most of you were born. Or water balloons. Stupid word.

Stupid, stupid word.

1. I thought this term referred to the men who stare at them
while talking to you instead of at your face?

2. boobs is ridiculous, but I really hate the word "boobies"
I made fun of a middle aged man who still said "boobies". I thought only elementary kids used that word...so freakin' juvenile!

5. "Boobies?" No, that's fine
Nothing wrong with "boobies." But "boobs".....that's just stupid.

3. It's better than the "T" word
I've always thought "rhymes with pits" was a really ugly word -- too full of anger and hate. It seems cosmically wrong to have an ugly word used to describe something so beautiful, ya know what I mean?

7. But very, very American...
It seems cosmically wrong to have an ugly word used to describe something so beautiful, ya know what I mean?

Consider that this comes from the same culture where the most commonly-used term for lovemaking also has a connotation of subjecting someone to violence or aggression ("they got totally f*cked," "he's a real f*cker," and the ever-popular "go f*ck yourself").

:shrug:

(For the record, I have no problem with the word "boobs"...especially when it's applied to people who spend taxpayer money to cover up said features on a statue...)

13. Good parallel...
I don't use the 'F' word to describe lovemaking. Only as a generic curse word once in a while. The same people who use the 'F' word are also quite likely to use the 'T' word -- sometimes back-to-back as one word, even.

We could stand to learn a lot from other cultures, which are far more respectful and reverent of these matters. In many ways, this country is bringing up the rear when it comes to being progressive.

Okay - perhaps "bringing up the rear" was the wrong expression for this thread.

17. Wow! That is one heck of a pair of hooters! Now, putting on my
Prof.Irwin Corey hat, we must never talk childishly about such physical things but instead must contemplate the ultimate fate of humanity without these hooters to keep us company during these times of trial in Bush's (or more correctly, Ashcrofts's) Amerika.And please also remember the Harvard study that correlated the IQs of women with their bust sizes.The larger the bust size, the lower the IQ,supposedly.To which I say, who cares about IQ anyway?

After tonight's lesson, boys and boys only, will get to look at
(Tits,boobies, hooters, busts) of Lindsay Lohan.

12. I remember Match Game during its original run!
And I was born in 1972, so nyah nyah nyah! :D

The panel loved that word. They also loved the booze, which was obvious by the time viewers got to Friday's episode. :D

15. So what DO you guys call them?
I'm a woman, I call them boobs and I don't really care what anyone else thinks about what I call them. They're mine, if I want to call them Thelma and Louise, I can.

I think breasts is probably the best, most mature word.
