    You should stick to the phrase that you are most comfortable with. I personally do not like the other phrases other than the anatomically correct one (breast). The others are so common in the general public and used often. No reason that you need to say them if you don't want to. Go with what you like and not necessarily with the crowd.

    I know what you mean. I always used the anatomical word "breasts" and thought other nicknames were vulgar. Then I moved out of town for a couple of years, and when I returned I found even elderly, conservative women using the term "boobs" in casual conversation. It was awkward, but I realized I had to start using the term, too, when I felt it was not inappropriate. I put in in the category with casual swearing--the difference between what you might say in the privacy of your home and what you would say in the workplace. And I've always taught my kids the correct name for body parts.

    I hate the word 'boobs' and 'boobies'. It sounds infantile. Breasts is a far more evocative word.

    Here is a little secret. You can use whichever word you like. It does not really make a difference. You do not need to ask our permission.
