Boob refers to a fool. Boobie refers to a sea bird. Tit is a type of songbird. Where did any of these ridiculous terms come from?

Doesn’t it come from “rack of meat” as in the stuff on the ribs?

I’m always catching food with mine…or should I say that I often caught sharing my food with my shirt?

I have been known to call mine “spaghetti catchers”. That’s why I have to actually wear a napkin like a bib. Sheesh. They won’t hold books up, though. :^>

It’s from the term hunters use for the pair of antlers on a trophy buck. this is what happens when your speech center is located in your testicles

And how about Jugs and Titties and Ta Tas?

(I bet Titties and Ta Tas came from a toddler)
