21 Nov 07 - 09:59 AM (#2199193) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Little Hawk Men don't have them. Well...most men don't, I mean. Accordingly, they are obsessed with them. This has always been the case, but it is much more noticeable in cultures that feel women should have their breasts hidden from view when in public. In that case men's obsession with women's breasts becomes really extreme, and it can fund entire industries based upon photographing women's breasts from various angles. Chongo thinks it's all quite hilarious. ;-) But then, he has his weak points too. He's obsessed with long legs on (human) women. That's because female chimps have quite short legs.

21 Nov 07 - 03:14 PM (#2199397) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Little Hawk You are so right, Skarpi. "Breasts" is the one word that gives these bodily features the respect their owners deserve. The other words are either somewhat crude or just plain silly-sounding. "Boob", for instance, used to be a common English term meaning "stupid person", "dummy" or "fool". Then a lot of people started using it for breasts instead...I have no idea why they did that. It sounds completely idiotic to me to say "boobs" when one means "breasts". It is, however, a symmetrical word which geometrically suggests a similar structure... B + O .... O + B Maybe that has something to do with it in a subliminal way? Even the capital letter "B" by itself looks like a sort of visual representation of a pair of breasts, after all. "Mammaries" is a sort of technical or scientific term, suggesting "the mother". Breasts are referred to in English language biology as "mammary glands", meaning that they serve the purpose of providing a mother's milk to infants. All of this may have been lost on Hugh Hefner, I suppose... ;-) |

21 Nov 07 - 05:12 PM (#2199481) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Sorcha Skarpi, just in case your English isn't up to it, 'tits' is one pronounciation of 'teats' which is another word for mammary glands. When used properly, teats is a perfectly good word but it has been corrupted into 'tits' which is a rather derogatory word for (mostly) human, female breasts. It's a rather coarse form of humour. Next up? |

21 Nov 07 - 05:18 PM (#2199490) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: gnu Derogatory? Slang at best. Coarse? How can any word to do with tits be derogatory or course? Words. They are words. |

21 Nov 07 - 06:14 PM (#2199528) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Emma B "Swearing—forbidden and taboo language—is absolutely universal. Linguists have yet to discover a geographic region, country, or culture in which it does not exist. Swearing, or cursing, is universal because it conveys potent emotions that are otherwise inexpressible through day-to-day language: curse words convey pain, hatred, revulsion, disapproval, insult, frustration, shock, excitement, offense, and even camaraderie. Swearwords are as much a part of our psyches as are the emotions that they represent" Of course words can change and lose meaning over time..... "recent examples of this process are George Carlin's infamous "seven dirty words": shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits. The seven infamous exclamations raised eyebrows and outrage when they were first broadcast by comedian George Carlin in his 1973 monologue, which aired uncensored on the Pacifica radio station WBAI-FM in New York City. The broadcast was so offensive at the time, it eventually lead to a Supreme Court case ruling which established that the seven dirty words Carlin mentioned should be limited to late-night hours only." Although some of these words have lost their offensiveness over time, even becoming the province of pre-adolecents and smutty sexual innuendo, it does not mean that they can't still be considered as "coarse" or "vulgar" and the stuff of tabloid titilation! quotes from USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences |

21 Nov 07 - 06:23 PM (#2199536) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Emma B "The choices of swearwords may sometimes seem illogical within a culture, but they are generally carefully selected from a specific set of taboo topics—forbidden acts, bodily functions, and human anatomy—because our natural offense at the subjects makes the words that relate to them the most obvious choices. American English curse words—motherfucker, shit, cunt—fall almost exclusively within these categories. These topics are used as the basis for swearwords because they are already imbued with some stigma. Over time, they are often abstracted beyond the point at which they are recognizable with the words from which they originated. For example, your mama, is a subtle reference to incest with one's mother. Fuck you, some linguists have theorized, may be an abstracted rape reference. Despite the fact that they are often not recognized as being related to the original taboos from which they originate, these words can reference the emotions triggered by the original taboos." From the USC source referred to above |

21 Nov 07 - 06:42 PM (#2199550) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Little Hawk The curse words in a culture indicate whatever people are most insecure about, to put it very succinctly. "Tabernac", for instance is a curse word in Quebec, and it refers to the tabernacle, a religious term. That was a society where people were particularly insecure, I would assume, about doing something that offends the church! Just about ALL societies are really insecure about sex and about bodily wastes...hence the common swearwords based on those. I'm not offended if some foolish person, for instance, calls me a "twat" or a "cunt" or a "cocksucker" though I imagine he expects I will be offended! (grin) It just strikes me as kind of funny, sort of ridiculous, because there is absolutely nothing offensive about those references, and they have no relevance to me. Now if he were to call me a fool, a jerk, a dimwit, an idiot, a phony, a liar...that would maybe offend me. It has to do with something that actually matters, and it is a real criticism of my character rather than the other person merely expressing their own insecurities about sex in an unconscious way while trying to insult someone else. |

From: Emma B OK you are grown up guys and can cope with personal abuse, to some extent, I can shrug that sort of abuse off too. The use of expressions like "tits", "totty" etc however reduce women as a whole to mere sex objects. Now I actually believe emotionally, intellectually and physically that sexual relationships between consenting adults are a "good thing" but although I enjoy cooking I might well object to being treated ONLY as a cook! To treat a woman as a sex object is to treat her as less than human, certainly not a "partner" sexually or otherwise. btw - I would get upset to be called a liar too! |

22 Nov 07 - 08:35 AM (#2199849) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Jeri Emma, Skarpi isn't a native English speaker and has never been mean to anyone here. When he asks what you're 'getting at' he probably just means, 'I don't understand what you mean. Would you please clarify?' My personal opinion: 'tits' is a nice, short word. It's not too long or precious-sounding and everyone knows what you're talking about. At least until you start talking about them liking black oil sunflower seeds and having nests near your house. Irreverence is far more comfortable to me than listening to someone talk about 'breasts' in such a patronizing way that you know they damn near worship them. They make me feel that if I ever had to have one lopped off due to cancer or something, THEY think I might as well go right out and shoot myself. If you think a body part is so sacred that it needs to be talked about in reverent language, you're sending the message that the body part is what matters about a person. There's a fine line between respect and patronization. Amos's 'Temple' has always given me the creeps, but smarminess always does that to me. Your opinion may differ, and I'm OK with that. We all have different triggers. Sometimes, being able to function in a diverse group is a matter of overlooking triggers, whether they're someone else's or our own. |

22 Nov 07 - 09:56 AM (#2199897) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Little Hawk "Breasts" is a nice short word too. It only has one syllable. I knew a bunch of young fools who generally referred to them as "hooters". That has 2 syllables. More work than saying "breasts". Shane refers to them as "bazongas". 3 syllables! Could it be that that as the stupidity index rises it attempts to cloak its real nature in unnecessary verbal complexity? ;-) For instance, we have a legitimate word: "huge" It has lately been replaced to a great extent with "humungous". "Hellish" has been replaced in some quarters with "hellacious". See what I mean? Stupid people apparently like to complicate simple words in order to make them sound more important or something. |

He pretty much wrecked the front end of his truck doing so, and it's a good thing it was a BIG truck or he might have wrecked himself too. He hung the remains of Ralph's buddy up in the cold shed, figuring he might as well make the best of a bad situation. |

Leo just had to fix the front end of his truck...or replace the vehicle...I don't remember which. Don and Shane have had highway encounters with moose too, and survived, but I think it might have been the high alcohol content that saved them. Either that or just dumb luck. |

28 Nov 07 - 09:02 PM (#2204351) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: GUEST,actually Joe_F One theory I have heard: Yanks & Brits are obsessed with tits because they were mostly bottle-fed. A far more charming theory I have heard: Humans are the only primates that have prominent female breasts. That is because the invention of language required men to pursue women from the front instead of the rear. Thus, women seeking to make use of the male program of attraction to paired protuberances had to evolve a pair in front. |

29 Nov 07 - 01:59 AM (#2204444) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Rowan I'm intrigued that all this conversation hasn't yet touched on a different aspect of the word. True, I'm quite familiar with the notion that breasts are referred to as "tits" but, when I was growing up on my grandfather's dairy farm, the word "teat" was applied, not to the udder (which is the bovine equivalent to the primate breast), but to what in primate terms is properly the nipple. Thus giving rise to the term "tit" for any small circular button that you must press to perform some operation. Cheers, Rowan |

29 Nov 07 - 09:42 AM (#2204620) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Jack Blandiver Speaking as a man... Such objectification is an inevitability of our psycho-sexual programming from which all our perceptive mechanisms ultimately derive; thus all such 'beauty' is objectified in terms of image / resonance which exists as a fundamental pattern to which we are biologically programmed (rather than culturally conditioned) to respond. So - Nature: 1 / Nurture: 0 Once we've succesfully resolved our Oedipal Complexities, then we might gleefully indulge ourselves on whatever level might be practicable, or acceptable, in the recogition of the myriad variables on offer, but which are all just an aspect of the one resplendant principle from which, as men, we're otherwise excommunicated. Why do men have nipples? Vestigial reminders of what might have been; likewise that tell-tale line of closure on our scrotums that places us into the realm of the masculine & therefore the merely servile! Given that the dynamic morphology of the penis is determined solely for the pleasure of the vagina (though not without rewards), it's interesting that Sigmund could come up with something as laugable as Penis Envy; one would have thought Breast Envy would be a far more likely condition. All very heterosexual I know, but where we score is to take such psycho-sexual subroutines (which only exist to coerce us into procreation) & use them for the pure joy of it. Next time someone says Gay Sex ain't natural, then point at a train, which don't exactly grow on trees - but they still work perfectly! Final score: Nature: 1 / Nurture: 23 - no contest! One thing I'll ever get though: Breast Implants - nature wins out there each & every time. |

29 Nov 07 - 11:30 AM (#2204732) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: Little Hawk Yeah, I always thought "penis envy" was a laughable concept too. What in the world was Freud thinking of when he dreamed that one up? What's to envy? Vaginas and breasts have much more staying power and utility than penises in almost every way, seems to me. Perhaps Freud was secretely tortured by vagina envy...and just could not come to terms with it. |

30 Nov 07 - 08:11 PM (#2205923) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: JohnInKansas LH asks - What in the world was Freud thinking of when he dreamed that one up? A "textbook" that I came across quite a few years with a title something like Varieties of Personality Theory, and as I recall writen by someone named "Hergenhan" or something similar had a rather novel arrangement. Separate chapters on each of some 20 or 30 "notable psychiatrists" each began with a brief summary of their upbringing and family situation, generally ending at about the time they would have entered a medical school - or in some cases an apprenticeship. An outline of their "theories" then followed. In most cases, and certainly most notably for ol' Siggie, once you read what the childhood was like you didn't really need to read their theories - because you knew what they were going to be. Poor Sigmund had a rather unhappy/unfortunate(?) childhood. His daughter Anna summed him up with "Daddy was a nut," which is perhaps a little unfair, but she worked (capably) to her own theories that didn't compete with what others attributed to her (presumed) daddy; and she seemed to have evaded the possibly geneticly-based psychoses evidenced in the grandson.

05 Dec 07 - 12:21 AM (#2208852) Subject: RE: BS: So what is it about ' tits ' ?? From: haddocker UNBELIEVABLE! How can you people spend so much time on this subject? There is much beauty in a woman, not just her breasts. And of course unless everything is together,personality, intelligence, talent, and then, yes, the physical expression of her inner soul, her body, it means nothing. I have met so many women who were absolutely gorgeous and well endowed, but also brilliant and talented. And most of the morons they would encounter could never lift their eyes from what to them was the main attraction. If you zero in on the physical you miss the spiritual; the real EROS. And that is why so many relationships wind up going south. |
