h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There must be lots of names for bras.... for instance Tit cosy. Anyone got any more slang names for bras, I can add them to the entry...

Papua New Guinea in the Pidgin English they call a brassiere a bagfodatitties, it was on Radio 4 - it must be true.......
BCNU - Crescent

Also known as a twin catapault...

...and a melon hammock...

Or even a sheepdog (or cowboy) - it rounds them up and points them in the same direction!

My father used to call 'em an "upper decker wobble checker".

Then the front fastening bras were always refered to by my group of girl friends as "front loaders"!

Double Barrel Slingshot.

When the car bra came out it opened up a whole new concept for the brassier, thus the saying `` Look at the headlights on that one ``

Then there is pidgin english and pidgin english. In the variety spoken in Vanuatu (Solomon Islands) they are know a titty baskets.

For the small chested they are known as tee-cups...

Personally my favourite term for bras is:

"Whats that doing on the floor in the corner of my room...again!?"

(Cue a dramatic turn to the right and discovering of Gillian Anderson/Davina McCall/Emma off Live and Kicking or Shania Twain naked in the bed next to me)

My! Don't you have an active imagination!

If you are gonna have a fantasy there are worse people out there to fantasise about!

Maggie Thatcher or the late Barbara Cartland, for example?

They're the equivalent of a cold shower for my hubby!

I was thinking more along the lines of Barbra Streisand

Yes, I can relate to that! Or at least my hubby can! Did you ever see what they did to Barbara Streisand in South Park?

Thanks to you all for joining me on my bedroom floor but would you mind leaving now I've got to go to work in a bit.

And by the way I really HAVE shagged all those sexy ladies!
(Well before I woke up and had my Cornflakes of course)

However, there is still time - I'm not dead yet!

Incedentally Davina McCall was in Bangior last week filming "Street Mates" and is probably even sexier in the flesh than on TV

A healthy imagination is essential. The problem is, a bra is a bra. Even Shanya's may be a hideous thing (not in my personal world it isn't, but you people have no business there, so poot!), it doesn't matter who's it is, it's what inside that counts.
Actually, people say that line to impress other people with their lack of shallowness. Thing is, they are shallow, because they only say it when talking about not really attractive people, and want others to think that looks do not matter. It does, and therefore they say it. But in talking about bras, what's inside does count.
Bras that are empty are sad things. They have no real shape, they basically look like some poor little animal that gave up and died after getting it's arms and legs caught in eachother.
A bra should only be viewed while it is being worn. That's the peak moment in a bras' life.
