WE prefer the more gentile term "bosom." One goes "bosom up", one "bosoms" the relentless waves, one assaults the enemy's "bosomworks", one grills chicken bosoms. And, of course, one puts those endearing little paper panties on the limbs of roasted chickens and turkeys. Anything less would inflame the bosoms of young gentlemen and ladies with thoughts of insatiable lust, which would lead to the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
