Helen and bel, you better leave this thread alone...don't start!
Hey, WO'n, can I start?????????
Well, Angel, I guess I should have included the phrase and the usual suspects after mentioning Helen and bel, 'cause it seems a lot of "the ladies (and I use that term [ahem] loosely) of the board" are competing for the "Most Gutter Police Citations of the Year Award"! ain't that so, Jackie?...you keepin' track here?...hey, wait a minute!...our resident GP seems to be in the running, too! So, sure, go ahead, Angel, take it away...somebody's got to do it I guess! And, here, let me help you...from the same Online Etymology Dictionary site:
boobs - 1929, U.S. slang, probably from much older term boobies, related to 17c. bubby. Singular form boob first attested 1909, Amer.Eng. [speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil-e]
