Thread Name: BS: I've got 3 sorts of tits!
Subject: RE: BS: I've got 3 sorts of tits!
I just love this characteristic of English that allows us to apply the names of body parts to common objects.
Growing up in boring ol' 'New' England I would never have guessed you could call a chickadee a tit. What a missed opportuniy for myself and my young male friends.
I would like to take this opportunity to make sure that younger generations not suffer unconsciously as I did, and propose the following noun nominations:
nipple - beatle
wang - hammer
hickey - hickey
hair - grass
lips - cheerios
