Well, since we've gone and got on the thread for euphemistic terms describing the vagina, why not the breasts?

The breasts are so sublime, and I love the various names for them. Here are some of my favorites:

muffins

butterballs

hoohas

honkers

papayas

silk pillows

:D
 
Bristols

What does the expression "All shipshape and Bristol fashion" have to do with breasts?

I disregard the breasts and go straight for the nipples. "Nipples" is one of the most sexually charged words in the language.

However, "sweater pie" and any other food metaphor serves for non-sexual references.
 
...Dirty pillows?

It is a firm belief of some humorists that, the more double O's a word has, the more appropriate it is for titties. So how about taking it to its logical extent: Hooloobazooboos!
 
Jugs, boulders, rack, gazonkas, cantaloupes, squeeze bags, and of course, large mammalian protruberances of the upper extremities, gotta love that one.
 
Hooter Shooters... Sweater Rockets... Milk Duds :eek:... Lumpy Bits... All Day Suckers... Balloons... and don't forget... JUGS :D

From Wikipedia:

On the London Weekend Television situation comedy from the 70s, No, Honestly, air-headed character Clara referred to one woman "with the big Birminghams." Her romantic partner, C.D., incredulous, asked her what she meant, not recognizing a valid rhyming slang reference (Birmingham City = Titty). Clara's explanation was, "Oh, C.D., it's rhyming slang - Birmingham town bosoms!" which, of course, neither rhymes nor is slang. This is a play on words from the real rhyming slang word for Titty which is "Bristols" derived from another English place beginning with B - Bristol City.

In the novel The Woman Between the Worlds by F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre, the protagonist purchases two railway tickets to Bristol Temple Meads by requesting "a pair of Bristols". This is an oblique reference to the rhyming slang term "Bristol Cities" = "titties".​

Shipshape and Bristol fashion

Etymology

The saying in today's form has been recorded as early as 1840 ("shipshape" alone being about 200 years older).

[1] The term developed most likely in view of the port of Bristol which had (before the Floating Harbour was constructed) a very high tidal range of 13 metres (43 ft), the second highest in the world. Ships moored in this area would be aground at low tide and, because of their keels, would fall to one side. If everything was not stowed away tidily, or tied down, the results were chaotic and cargo could be spoiled.

Adjective

shipshape and Bristol fashion

(chiefly nautical) Tidily tied down and secure.


So - shipshape and Bristol fashion might mean - wearing a support bra or...

Let your imagination do the rest.
