Some women take offense at the adjective busty, especially when its used on oneself. They prefer the lingerie industry term “full bust”, the safer adjective “chesty” or simply being identified as “large breasted”. I suppose women who are large of hip take offense being labeled “hippy”, that would upset me also.
Busty
Likewise some women are offended by the term boob. They call them the ever popular slang “girls”, the clinical “breasts”, etc. Lucky for me I am not easily offended, and actually use the term boob to refer to breasts quite frequently. I do not call them girls, maybe because I have two daughters and they are my girls. Nor do I prefer to call them breasts, because men and chickens also have breasts.
Not Busty
Really I want to hear from you. What do you call your body type? Are you self described buxom? And how do you refer to your bust? I say bust and bustline most often now that I’m more aware of the sensitive and tricky nomenclature issue surrounding the mammaries.
