One of my friends (male) was once like 'you have the ultimate side boobs' and I was like '...o_O'

Yeah same here esp since I've done a lot of research and studying on topics related to sexuality I just don't really see it as THAT taboo a subject. Generally I think I'm a pretty good judge of what is appropriate and when but I was at a bbq a couple years ago and related a really funny story to a bunch of ppl about friends of mine that had gone to a workshop on female ejaculation. A couple days later the host of the get together said I'd made quite an impression on the other guests who were a little shocked at my story. :-( I was pretty upset about it but in the end it's not my fault they were uptight idiots who couldn't appreciate a good story.

Some people just can't handle the boobs!

What are "side boobs"? Boobs that point to the sides?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:07 (fourteen years ago) link
actually, my bf and i once measured our 2 bestie's busts to determine whose was bigger.

Side boobs are more oriented to the lateral sides of the ribcage, as opposed to the more medial regular boob.
― kind-hearted, sensitive keytar player (Abbott), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:10 (fourteen years ago) link
It was really annoying esp since she made me feel really bad about it. It was as though I was like, "Hey, nice to meet you I'm Erica. So, wanna here a great story about female ejaculation?" within the first few minutes of meeting them. It came up in conversation as these things sometimes do. Needless to say I'm not really friends with that person anymore but yeah.

How could your friend tell you have ultimate side boobs? I thought Americans don't see each other naked?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
(x-post)
Side boobs would be handy for keeping the twins apart when they are quareling with one another, I suppose.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:12 (fourteen years ago) link
My friend and I came up with a method of measuring water displacement to determine breast volume in order to settle a dispute between some female friends. They had obviously different breast sizes, the opposite of what their bra sizes would indicate and the water displacement gave us good solid numbers to work with for size comparisons.

I thought side boobs were just boobs when viewed from the side! I didn't realize it meant they were kind of actually located there.

We should chat more. :) Personally I really have to work to crowbar female ejaculation into conversation. My mum and her friends don't seem to like it either.
Also, as one who makes such observations frequently and enthusiastically, I think it's "sideboob" not "sideboobs". Thank you.

it's nice to tell a lady that her breasts look fantastic this evening, but i get away with it more since they know i don't want to touch them in a greedy manner

Thanks for the diagram, Abbott!

so basically side/regular = 70's/80's?
― snoball, Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:44 (fourteen years ago) link
So of course I have now spent the last ten minutes trying to determine whether or not I have sideboobs as defined by Abbott and I can't figure it out so I'm going to assume that means that I do not. I once had a guy friend say I had awesome pointy 70's boobs. I told him I didn't think "pointy" was necessarily the word he was looking for so he switched to "perky" which I felt better about.

Okay if you aren't wearing an underwire bra do your boobs kind of get in the way of your upper arms? Mine do. (When I was going through puberty they kept going further & further to the sides & I had this totally Judy Blume fear they'd end up under my armpis by the time I'd fully 'developed'.)
― kind-hearted, sensitive keytar player (Abbott), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:58 (fourteen years ago) link
I disagree re sideboob -- pretty sure it's just the word for side cleavage/breast reveal in certain items of clothing that cut away under the arms! Not opposed to thinking up other usages, but I think Abbott is coining something new here.
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 18:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Abbott - no, they don't. LOL at the Judy Blume thing.
Yeah see I always thought of it as exactly what Laurel is describing.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:01 (fourteen years ago) link
laurel's usage of side-boob is the one i've heard before
― fade away & r80-8 (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:01 (fourteen years ago) link
My misunderstanding of Abbott's definition made me think of sidecars, only with boobs where the car should be.

e i think your gentleman friend meant that they were "swoop titties" which is how i wd describe 70s era breasts
― fade away & r80-8 (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:03 (fourteen years ago) link
swoop titties!!! LOOOOOOOOOL
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:04 (fourteen years ago) link
okay "swoop titties" is a phrase I can support 100%
― her performance (ie, her pubes) stood out for me (HI DERE), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:04 (fourteen years ago) link
"pouting" is useful too
― fade away & r80-8 (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:04 (fourteen years ago) link
It's like the titties are birds-of-prey that just spotted a mouse or rabbit in the field and... SWOOP
― her performance (ie, her pubes) stood out for me (HI DERE), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Ooh, "swoop titty" is a good one. That silhouette is the precarious state, which probably lasts for about 15 minutes in one's early-to-mid 20s, of breasts being heavy enough to round out on the bottom (and have the accompanying ski-slope curve on top) without actually sagging even a tiny bit.
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Sci-fi illustrators of the era famously used the swoop titty silhouette on female figures but in a greatly enlarged version, which would be impossible to support in the correct form under Earth gravity. Must be all that space travel.
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:07 (fourteen years ago) link
yes laurel that is the shape exactly
― fade away & r80-8 (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I think I still have that but only because I don't think they're big enough to really sag yet.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:08 (fourteen years ago) link
I think "swoop titty/titties" is my new favorite descriptive phrase. Thank you Elmo.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 July 2009 19:09 (fourteen years ago) link
i use "banana boobs" for swoop titties.

i used it on another thread a while back and the term was not embraced at all.
