Do people still say "boobs" anymore?

It seems impossible to believe that for so long middle-class people didn't want to say the word "breasts" in polite company.

Not quite as much since Dr Demento's show went off the radio.

“Boobs” is funny. I work in healthcare, where we’re less squeamish about the body, and a lot of my female coworkers talk about “my boobs” hurting, getting mushed in a crowd, etc.

Now that you mention it, I've only heard that word recently to describe light fixtures, i.e., boob lights.

R5, do you work with a lot of dames and broads?

I'm a lesbian, and I think that "breast" is a far sexier word in bed than "boob." In fact, I think "boob" is aggressively unsexy.

I call them dirty pillows.

I'm not sure. Is calling someone a "bubble headed booby" still au courant?

In my (prudish) family, they were called "bazooms" (a mixed up way of saying "bosom" I suppose). Big breasted women were said to have a big bosom, or sometimes, that they were busty. In my mother's Irish catholic family, even bottom was considered naughty , so they called it your b...o...t tom so this is the level of prudery we're talking about.

Hate to break it you, r14, but "boob job" was never the official name of the procedure and is still used frequently as an informal/slang name.

Tits for me. Boobs reminds me of Match Game ‘75.

by Anonymousreply 18April 23, 2019 5:17 AM

I hear "tits" more often than "boobs" lately, but it's not as though "boobs" has died out completely. Haha re Match Game 75, r18; they did say "boobs" all the time on that show.
