Breasts aren't "boobs" or "titties" but rather "tiddies" or "titays"

"Titties" is a stupid word. It's so stupid and gross that some millennials are replacing it with even more ridiculous words like "tiddies" or "titays." Brilliantly funny MEL Magazine editor Alana Hope Levinson explores how "The Extremely Online are destroying languageone tiddy (or tity) at a time." From MEL:

I first started thinking about this when columnist merritt k wrote about the state of fake boobs and tried to get away with titywith one tthroughout the entire draft. I thought it was a typo, but I was astounded to learn that merritt is on a one-woman crusade to make tity both the singular and plural.

Still, I thought merritt was a lone tity weirdo until I encountered tiddies in writer and designer Robyn Kanners draft on trolling Instagrams nudity policy. Tiddiesapparently also the choice spelling of my bible, Jezebelfirst appeared when Kanner was describing a scene in Garden State where Method Man asks Zach Braff, Peter Sarsgaard and Natalie Portman if they saw some titties at a strip club. In this case, Kanner was using the double d (lol) as a pronunciation spelling common in slang cause she thinks it has more swagger. Titties with a t is nice, but it just sounds like college boys talking about boobs, she says. Tiddies is we are older, but we are recognizing we are making a joke about boobs. Because titties is so ridiculous, making it even more so somehow neutralizes the effect with comedyor at least gives you some ironic distance.
