Categorical imperative
Bluegrass girl astutely asked the question, “Why is there not a category for boobs on this site?”
The initial reason was so that the site wouldn’t be blacklisted by censor-ware apps (not just NetNanny-types, but enterprise/institutional-level filters as well). Some of those programs look for a certain ratio of keywords per page. Because the category names are on the sidebar, and the sidebar loads on every page, the ratio would be >1 on every page if the category name was one of those keywords.
However, the need for the category is clear. We just need to come up with a sufficiently obscure name for it. Everyone’s input is welcome. I’ll start us off:
- Globes of Fun
- Hooblertown
- Hanging Twins of Boobylon
- Grand Tetons
- Racks
- What Tootie Grew

I defer always, and you know this, to “Show dem thangs.” But that Tootie line is great.

I like Grand Tetons and Tootie.
However, I must point out that these names are definitely derived from the male perspective. For the ladies, it’s more like:

I believe the “h” is silent in “thangs”.

Dammit, I hit an errant button.
Anyway, here’s the ladies’ list:
Crumb Catchers
Button Poppers
Golf Prowess Preventors
Male Gaze Divertors

True. I appreciate your point of view. Especially Crumb Catchers and Golf Prowess Preventors. In keeping with that: “Bait”

How about “Cheap heat for male posts?”

Ok, how about “Twin Cities”?

Raisin Smugglers

Twin Cities is hilarious.
If I’m gonna smuggle something in the cleavage, it’ll be better than raisins, that’s for damn sure.

The raisins don’t go in the cleavage. It’s a reference to a certain excited/cold state that, err, Twin Cities can be in.
Usage: “Wow, she’s smugglin’ some raisins.”

For those occasions I’ve always favored, “She could cut glass.”
I’m going to go with Crumb Catchers. It’s neutral and obscure enough.

I thought the raisin smugglers was a play on grape smugglers. That made it extra funny…
