modern linguistics

I was chatting with Pam earlier today, and I used the term "uniboob", and Pam looked at me like I had a tree growing out of my head. She has never heard of the term, and thinks I'm rather weird for using it. While not being dumb enough to have a poll on if I'm weird or not, I was curious if anyone else had heard of the term. So, drumroll please:

Also "quadroboob" if one's bra is too small.

That one I hadn't heard.

But I've bet you've seen it!

[gsh]

Not that I can recall. For which I am thankful.

Not just uniboob, but the alternatives monoboob and shelfboob, and the related quadriboob.

You'd think that by the 21st century, humanity would have mastered the art of creating and selecting well-fitting undergarments.

Okay, hadn't heard monoboob. I've thought shelfboob, but have never heard it. And quadriboob is just weird, but, suddenly, not surprising.

the effect you get when rather than having two defined breasts on the front of your body you have a single "lump" that just extends from one side to the other.. Often associated with sports bras.
