Morgan,
I am with you on calling breasts 'boobs' because of the definition of a  
boob.  It is derogatory and my biggest pet peeve.  Yet, many mothers  refer to 
their breasts that way and it's not my business to correct them. Men  have so 
many nicknames for our parts and theirs and I guess I just find them  
inappropriate.  Maybe I have no sense of humor but there are some pretty  nasty monikers 
out there.  And my mother was also determined that we use  anatomically 
correct terms for everything or risk punishment. 
If the  professionals don't at least salt and pepper their conversations with 
correct  terms and pronunciation, who will?
