Ridiculous Terms for Women’s Breasts Throughout History
<p>Anyone who developed breasts in their teens knows that if you have them, someone will call them by another name. Jugs, knockers, boobies, the list goes on. We know lots of modern slang words, but others are lost to time.</p>
<p>While doing research for another project, I found a list of various slang terms for breasts used throughout history. Some go all the way back to the 1600s and can be found in <a href="https://archive.org/details/bim_eighteenth-century_a-classical-dictionary-o_grose-francis_1796/page/n55/mode/2up" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue</em></a>, published in 1796. Others are more modern, compiled lovingly in<a href="https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/xg62jyi#sglqewa" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em> Green’s Dictionary of Slang</em></a>. I’m reviewing twelve of those slang terms from the past to decide if they still make sense today.</p>
