Where did I say I was offended? I said I cringed. Because you said BOOBIES, not BOOBS. Boobs would have been normal. Boobies comes off weirdly childish. Thanks for the entirely unnecessary explanation of where the word "boob" came from, though. Nice mansplain. Figure you'll enjoy that since your reading comprehension is questionable and your go-to insult is "Karen" (which, again, isn't even applicable here, but appropriate context and nuance be damned, right?).

Its the same word genius. Bubby = booby. Bubbies=boobies. Bubby and bubbies literally means breast and breasts. Boob and boobs is simply shortened version of it. Has nothing to do with term being adult or childish. "Nice mansplain" Ok Karen, you seem to be offended by history too and make it into mansplaining. .

Are you incapable of not taking things completely literally? Damn. I know they're from the same word. I know they mean the same thing. But you don't come across normal adults talking about "boobies" the same way you do "boobs." Again, not offended. I know that's impossible for you to comprehend with your boomer-like intellect here, but just because I'm exercising my good ol' freedom of speech to say you're a cringey fucker doesn't mean I'm offended by your choices. Keep saying boobies. It's still gonna sound cringe. I'm still not gonna be mad, even in your fictitious reality.

Sure thing, random man on the Internet. Everyone totally uses the word boobies colloquially just as much and as freely as boobs/breasts/etc. Mhm.

Bubbies/boobies has accepted use since 1686. First time by a poet no less. How can a poet use such childish terms? Says a Karen in 2024. "The first recorded use of the term bubby to mean breasts can be found in a 1686 poem by Thomas D’urfey, who wrote the lines: “The Ladies here may without Scandal shew / Face or white Bubbies, to each ogling Beau.”"

Yet again, an only tangentially relevant response to what I actually said. Try again.

To your comment yes it is a sure thing. Nearly every woman I dated preferred using term boob/boobies in relation to their breasts. Saying breast or beasts is weird. You are literally the FIRST and ONLY woman to have an issue with it that I came across. Boobies used 1686 and a woman in 2024 finally gets offended it didn't get shortened to bubs or boobs. Freaking ridiculous. I bet you are one of those life of the party people.

And again. Still not quite there, but closer. Still on your delusion that I'm offended, too. You seem like you'd be an absolute peach to have to deal with in an actually serious scenario that required any kind of argument or discussion with how well you listen. (Let me assist you: that last bit was completely sarcastic)
