I don't think I know a single person that actually uses the word "nips" to denote female anatomy. I wonder if the NIPS renaming debate goes back to a misunderstanding, where women assume that men secretly use that word to talk about them, and men assume that other, bad men do?

Seriously, have a look at this. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=nips,nipples … And if you look at the queries to see the context, it seems to be about a candy brand. The first query that may relate to nipples is "what are nips" which suggests that the term is actually quite unusual.

However, I am not a native English speaker, and it may well be that everyone around me hides their embarrassing slang words from me (and Google trends). So please let me know, do you use the word?

Replying to @Plinz
No, your assessment is spot-on. If anything, it should not be used because it was an offensive slang term used to reference Japanese people around WWII. (Nippon).

Based on all the answers I got, it's complicated.
