[quote=Anonymous]http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/10/31/a-brief-history-of-boobies/ [quote] Then, around 1680, there arose a bit of slang that would outshine most all the rest in its various forms: [b]bubby[/b]. Bubby, Green says, may come from the Latin word bibere, meaning to drink. Or it may be onomatopoeic, echoing the sound of an infant breast-feeding. By the 1800s, that word had morphed into booby, which became boob.[/quote][/quote]
