Re: "Bodacious" I remember a comic strip featuring a mountain character called Snuffy Smith, who I think either invented the word, or at least first widely circulated it about fifty years ago. It was a superlative, but not necessarily complimentary.Somehow I would not regard it as an endearing term to apply to physique of an attractive woman.

Bobyoungbalt dangled this in front of us: Incidentally, ladies, please inform us men: Would you consider the state of being hung like a horse to be the male equivalent of a woman having bodacious tatas?

So Bob, let me get this straight... you're asking us if size matters?

Where's the gutter police when she's clearly needed!

911! 911!

"Bobyoungbalt dangled this in front of us"
What is "this"?
Who dangled what?

There used to be a maxim that the angle of dangle was proportional to the heat of the m... and the m... of the a..

Size matters only to another horse.

Dr. Bob* contributes (sic): There used to be a maxim that the angle of dangle was proportional to the heat of the m... and the m... of the a..

Happens I've got a recording (LP no less) of the Mass of the Ass (that's Missa Asini for you Latin scholars out there). Just thought I'd mention it.

*Oh, oops. That's Dr. Bill, in't it. I bin callin you Dr. Bob fer some time now, ain' I Dr. Bill. Sarry bout that.

Now, once and for all :
It's not the size of the er, um, "tool" it's how well you use it.

Why do I think of the old saying : "A poor carpenter will always blame his tools."

This is really not a proper line of thought for a High Priestess!

bodacious tatas
You're correct, Bill, about Snuffy Smif. 'Bodacious' was coupled with 'tatas' by the 2nd male lead character in the movie, An Officer and a Gentlemen since which time it has entered the vocabulary (of some persons, at least).

Dear Bob: Some surprising things come up when you type "Bodacious tatas" in Yahoo search box.

I saw that movie so long ago all I remember is opening with father having taken son to a whorehouse. Somehow the idea did not appeal to me.

Well, there is the thought that the best things come in small packages--

A kind lover remarked that a perfect breast should fill a champange glass (the old fashioned american "saucer" kind, not the continental flute) not a punch bowl. and while he didn't know the word callipygian--his kind remarks about larger parts of my anatomy (significantly larger!) still make me feel good about myself!
