tatas and twins

Who taught: Today show

Some English words or expressions sound cute to me. Like tatas. Well, sounds cute before I get to know what it means.

As Jessy and I have breakfast, we usually watch or listen to Today show on NBC. A few days ago, one of the topics was related with a part of women’s body. Wanna give it a try to guess what it is? That is what tatas mean. Pay attention to the fact that it is plural. What part of women’s body is two and kind of symmetric? I mean there are a few but there is something very obvious. Do you get it?

That’s right! They are breasts on a female. Also, it looks like they have to be large to be called tatas. How big? I do not know. But I guess it is all subjective. There are of course bunch of synonyms. Do I know all? Not at all! But I do know one more which is twins. Now, you would say, “What? Twins? Twins are just twins. What else it could mean.” Huh! You are not correct. This could mean something else and one of them is breasts.

Twins can also mean balls on a male, assuming that you know what balls mean. (FYI, balls mean testicles.) It is all contextual. Usually, if a guy says twins, it probably means balls whereas it would mean breasts when a woman says it. Wait! I might be wrong. It would be the other way around.

Now maybe they are not really cute any more.

My American friends, what else could mean breasts or balls?
