tatas and twins

Tatas (source: http://peoplethatshoulddieandrotinhell.wordpress.com/)
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?
I could refer to my breasts as ‘my girls’. This causes us endless amusement when Ari talks about picking up her girls from wherever they are 🙂
LOL. Now, that makes me think of the situation that someone else, a guy, picks Ari’s girls up.
Is it only you using my girls for that purpose or other women also use that expression?
I think “my girls” is probably about as common as calling them “twins”. My favorite is “sweater puppies” – it always makes me laugh.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard “twins” used to mean balls, but I have heard guys say “my boys”.
Ari’s girls always make me laugh.
I like the similar term, “sweater monkeys”. I just imagine them wrestling with each other underneath the sweater. Sometimes I see women with tight skirts and lots of action going on with their cheeks. I always think “skirt monkeys”, but somehow it doesn’t quite work …
Ok, so whenever I tell other people I am picking up the girls, and then I explain how you guys make fun of me for saying that, they say you’re nuts (Terry, I think you could refer to a guys balls a nuts, but that might imply that they are kind of small, not sure about that). So now I just know you have dirty minds 😛
Btw. is it better if I say “the girls” vs “my girls”? Does it make a difference in your dirty minds?
I am sorry. Using the girls would not make a difference. 🙂 In relation to nuts expression, I guess it depends on what kind of nuts Walnuts are big whereas peanuts are small. 🙂
