Well, if we are discussing preferred vernacular, I have always been partial to "sweater puppies"

I with Carrie's mother: Dirty Pillows is the way to go.

Among women I've had the issue of word selection up with boobs has generally been much preferred to tits.
I agree that boobies sounds infantile but I really only use the word ironically or when being silly (and I think the infantilization is more of the person saying the word than the person the word is said of). Lani and I have a code phrase used for indicating noteworthy breasts are in the area. But I can't share what it is since then it would no longer be a code. |
Your survey probably doesn't take account of regional biases. I never heard "boobs" or "butt" until I moved to California. And they don't sing about "Boobs and Butt" in A Chorus Line either.

Well, everybody I knew in Washington growing up used boobs much more preferentially than tits (and ass would also be used over butt). And I've never heard Lani say tits on her own and she comes to American vocabulary via British schools and Hawaii.
But yeah, I'm sure that as with all over vocabulary choices there are regional variations. |

Yep, boobs and butts were California infantile niceties that I encountered when I moved here from New York, where the more crass tits and ass were commonplace.
Sometimes I miss the direct approach. |
I like "rack" or "jugs" too :)
|
Michigan used butt and ass interchangeably. But not tits - and I still think it's crass. Boobs don't sound sophomoric to me, though boobies definitely do.
