To think that the word 'tits' (as in 'breasts') is a little too vulgar ?

[tanfield90]

I'm quite prepared to be told I'm being prudish or precious on this subject. For years I've been uncomfortable using the word and so I don't. Fair enough. But plenty of people I know say tits without reservation in ordinary conversation, regardless of company and it just grates with me. I'd be surprised if many people outside the medical or lingerie businesses, for example, routinely say breasts. And there's a few less offensive breast pseudonyms such as boobs and bosoms which I'm happier with. Similarly, when people refer to a penis as a cock - I really can't stand that. Of the alternatives, I've yet to make up my mind which is the least worst between willy and knob.

What do you think ? Am I over-thinking this ? BTW, I am male, mid-forties.

I don't care what grown adults call them but yes, I'd not be impressed a 3 year old calling them that.

Cock just makes me think of a porno movie or something, can't take it too seriously.

I hate the word 'breast'

It's up there with 'moist' etc for me so it's boobs in this house, Tits if I'm feeling lairy.

Tits is only ever used when we are getting carried away with sex and being vulgar is kind of fun.

Otherwise it's boobs.

Tits is definitely vulgar and it's just a horrible word.

I don't mind tits. Though I wouldn't let my 6 year old say it and I wouldn't say it at work I don't mind if other people say it. Generally I call them boobs or breasts. Sometimes I say bazoomas or nunga-nungas if I'm being silly.

Todger has to be the worst word in existence. Sometimes my DH whispers "moist todger" in my ear just to make me cringe and feel a bit sick!

It is vulgar but it depends on the audience and context.

My terminology varies, depending on whom I'm in conversation with and, er, what the 'situation' is IYSWIM

Also I'd only use cock if I was talking dirty. It weirds me out a bit if I hear it in general conversation. Dick is usually used as an insult.

Mum. Yes I am confused, hence the question. It's certainly got lots of people talking.

Tits is a lovely word - it's all bouncy and jolly. Boob is nauseating- or that horrible phrase 'boob monster'.
Breast is very mature- and sounds all Gareth Marenghi if used in an intimate setting.

Yes I like the word tits but don't use it unless with DH.

I normally say breasts - boobs makes me think of something teenage boys say but I do call it a boob when feeding DD2 - but if discussing the body part I'd say breast to most people.

DH has called them all sorts in the past. A small list includes; baps,bags, the girls, handles etc. All in jest of course.

I'm in my mid-20s and I feel the EXACT same. Mortified at most of those words - can deal with "dick" and can let "boobs" slide but I'll be dying inside at everything else. Bazookas made me

Viz Roger's Profanisaurus

Sweater Puppets n. Fondleberries Particularly animated breasts that keep a fellow entertained. Milky swingers

^^ could be worse!

I keep saying "bellend

I'm 55, been married twice, and had possibly more than my fair share of lovers.

I have only now realised what a bell end is thanks to your post dearlittleflo

I hate the description "funbags". It's awful.

Adult language here. My DP finds it hilarious that I say penis. Too long spent working on sexual offences, I stick to clinical or at least audience-appropriate names for body parts (i.e. reflecting the words used by the person I'm talking to).

Tits...fine
Titties...gross

Breasts sounds like a biology teacher.

Tits doesn't bother me but funbags is horrible.

It's 'norks' from DH.

(and ''boobies'' from DD4 (just 3) )

My dh uses Bristols sometimes but always spoken in a dodgy south west accent.

LOL!

I hate the word boobs; it seems much more vulgar than tits. I think tits seems like little providers of milk, kind of like teats for an animal, so kind of innocent to me.

I can't bear to say the work cock.

I don't care at all what anyone else says.

Boobs still reminds me of being at school at typing 80085 in my calculator.

*and obviously

Oh my word, yes muddling - innocent and happy times

I love the word tits. And knockers, bazungas and boobies. But then I am quite immature at times lol
