Boobs

I respectfully disagree. While it may be more manly to call them "tittays" or "tits" and more redneck to call them "titties", "boobs" is a nice round word which carries the spirit of breastases.

come on the terms slacks is awesome! also trousers. I do also call mammaries boobs.

[sheilalynn]

Boobs are "the girls" to me :P And panties are 'undies"....but yeah, I know, I'm not a guy. :wink:

[Snusdog]

add- "anyhoo"

and I'll trade you boobs for boobies


or should I take this over to the exchange thread :wink:

[Roo]

Well spoken sir!

Yeah I got no problem with boobs, natch, panties or nippies. Wingin' it, peein all willy-nilly in folks' belly buttons, it is what it is. Cool. Bye-bye.

Oh well, I was going to write out a story about John Wayne using most if not all of those words but when you get to a point in a story that you are trying to imagine someone as bad ass as John Wayne using the word nippy and belly button, it's time to go back to bed :P

I do respectfully disagree with a few though:

Boobs - It doesn't matter what word you use, fun bags rock!

Panties - Another word that should be ok to use. It's like saying you can't use the word candy wrapper cause whats inside is better than anything on earth!

I do agree on the alternate cuss words. Get over the implied cuss words and use the real ones ya freaking pansy arse shirt head!
