To say the word “boobs” in front of prudish SIL

[Sloan878787]

BIL/SIL’s with MIL. We had a nice festive catchup with them and SIL’s sister. SIL comes from a very prudish family and at one point I used the word “boobs” whilst talking about lingerie and she gasped and chuckled in a joky way. Thought nothing more of it until this Thursday.

Thursday just gone MIL was telling me that when SIL/BIL were round theirs the other day she mentioned she was shocked that I used the word “boobs” in company and she personally would have used “breasts or bosoms” instead.

I thought it was bloody pathetic that over a fortnight later she was gossiping about the fact I’d uttered “boobs” and not “breasts/bosoms”. I didn’t even think “boobs” was vulgar to be honest, just informal and casual. She’s such a wet lettuce and a prude!! Should I really have said “breasts or bosoms” or is she being pathetic??

She sounds like a tit.

ignore and carry on as you feel is appropriate.

Say titties next time

No idea really I am not 12 so not really fussed

The first sentence should say “On Boxing Day me and DH went round to my BIL/SIL’s with MIL.” I must have accidentally deleted it.

It’s not like you said tits. Boobs is acceptable- even a calculator says boobs 😂 besides- you were with family

who the fuck calls them bosoms in this day and age?

@Danikm151 That’s what I thought. I wouldn’t have said “tits” 🤣 but “boobs” I thought was just normal.

I think threepennys is nicer and posher than bosoms or breasts

Say "the bazookas" next time 😁

Boobs is a perfectly ok word
Why does she even care? It's not like you'd whipped them out in Wetherspoons
(Had you?)

How about top bollocks?

Go straight in with norks instead 🤣

titty Bo jangles

The Girls or Mammaries, I think you should try a different phrase each time to keep it interesting.

This 🤣

’phil & grant’

"Bosoms"? Does anyone say that ever?

Next time, just say tits.

Just here for the bosoms really, who the fuck says 'bosoms' now?

Boobs is fine. Perfectly normal. Ditto the suggestion to find a new term for them, in front of her, every time. I submit, 'funbags' and 'chesticles'.

I detest the word bosoms! No ywnbu but I would now have a lot of fun saying tits and knockers around her.

I’d be going out of my way to make her gasp now. What an excellent game!

1 point for a gasp.
2 points for a gasp and chuckle.
5 points for a shocked look.
10 points for tears.

😂😂😂

Bosoms is due a revival. I'm going to start saying bosoms.

Bosoms gave me the most phenomenal ick.

She'd despise my house, one of my DC has autism and will watch YouTube videos of body parts (no clue why - he just loves them!) And even though at one point he was barely verbal he'd shout with his wee American accent, "bro you are a friggin nipple!" If we had the sheer audacity to sit next to him on the sofa.

My suggestion is using a very posh voice and saying, "tittays" or, "Breasticles", but speaking like Joanna Lumley.

I'd be so tempted though to casually bring up body parts using the most grim phrases. I'd turn into a 13 year old from the 90s.

"So sil, you know when you said bosoms to MiL, that honestly made my minge cringe so much that it almost disappeared! I think if I was the owner of a chode it would have shrank so small it would have left me with nothing but shrivelled teeny bollocks".

Yes, I’d drop in a few softly spoken cunts when it is just the two of you!!!

Strange SIL.

Bosom, who says that anymore? Stick with breast around SIL.

Well you certainly packed in a lot of mentions of boobs, breasts and bosoms into one post, OP, I'll give you that.

How is boobs more offensive than breasts? And Bosom? who the hell says that 😂 she sounds fucking mental
