    I've always felt 'tits' is a bad word for breasts. Small, sharp word. 'Boobs' is a full, round word. Much better. Thought I'd share that,

        I think you're not the only person to come to this conclusion. "Boobs" is also funnier, depending on context.

        No? Probably not. Seems obvious to me.

        Perhaps the most appropriate word choice depends upon the particular pair you are describing?

        Replying to @MJ_Caruso

        Well, yes, if someone has a hard, sharp pair, they could be called 'tits' but most are soft & round and 'boobs' is best.

        On that note I always found 'cans' particularly perplexing.

        since we're talking about containers as nickname, "jugs" seems to be a bit more fitting

        They can at least be round.

        Thank you, but what about women who don't have 'full, round' boobs? Is that titphobic? Are we going to see small tit intersectionality?

        Well if they're small, it's harder to make them crisscross/intersect
