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.

Never mind.

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

So, three confirmations that "boobies" is the preferred verbiage for use on LoT.

All of the words that mean breasts don't mean the same kinds of breasts to me. I don't have a "rack" or "sweater puppies". (BTW Kevy, I'm never letting a real puppy near you, if that's what you do to puppies.)

I reserve the word "tits" for fantastic breasts. Some may find it crass but to me it's the real deal. The word works on a very primal level, I think.

I stick to "boobs" because it's preferred vernacular, but I'm up for using any word, really. And I still think we need more varied, better words for the other bit of female genitalia.
