You can have my TITS

... when you pry them from my cold, dead hands!



How could anyone be offended by the word "tits"?

George Carlin -

"Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list."

my 'puter is now enjoying a lovely single malt scotch!

I agree it is a shame that 'tit' or 'tits' ended up on a list of supposedly "unacceptable in polite company" words....I think it is absurd that any word used to refer to a body part is considered 'unacceptable'.

I find words such as war, weapons, drones, bombs, and perhaps the most offensive, body count, much less acceptable...just imagine if they were removed from the lexicon!
