Tittyology

"Gets on my tits!"

By now, something like that - on this blog - shouldn't be a shocker.

I was a bit blown back when I first heard this expression. (And I first heard it thanks to the illustrious blog designer extraordinaire, the Blog Angel herself, Claire Raikes www.businessblogangel.com - and just fyi, she is a TypePad specialist!)

I had hired her to help me with the banners for Soul First Living and Tittyology...and to unkink some problems I was having here on Tittyology - which she did with flying colors. (She makes it soooo easy. She taught me a lot, too...and she's a neato bandito person to work with.)

Anyway, we got into a discussion about the use of the word "titty" because of the title (or tittle - hee hee) of this very blog.

I explained that I had, in fact, gotten a lot of grief and heat over the name, and that - no, this word is NOT considered proper or polite...but I just couldn't bring myself to change it - at least not yet. (I'm open to ideas...still not sure if I want to change it. Thought about "From Cancer to Confidence"...that's simply not as fun as Tittyology.)

She then asked me if I've ever heard this phrase, "Gets on my tits." (I never had.)

It means, "Gets on my nerves" - as in "gets on my last nerve".

Fabulous phrase. Makes me giggle.

Even if you're like me and have lost one or both or parts of your boobs thanks to cancer, you can still use this phrase with great aplomb...maybe even moreso.

As in, "Cancer really gets on my tits!" --- And a truer statement will never have been spoken!

Need I say more...I guess I could've posted some booby pics as a visual, but the only booby pics I'm comfortable psoting are mine.

Hubs heard this term on Robot Chicken and shared - through much giggling - because he knows I collect slang terms for ta-taz.

From Kailash

Kailash referred to her tataz as "Titlets". I LOVE it!

About Kailash -

I met Kailash at the retreat. She's a beautiful person and a delight to be around. Check out her site. Her work is different than any other person's I've seen who does work with wardrobe, hair, and colors. She is able to make your outside match your inside.

It was on her suggestion that I had my hairstylist cut layers into my hair, and I really like the new do. My hair isn't as heavy. It moves now. I really liked it before, but I feel that now it matches my personality better.

She suggested I do this so I can wear it "au naturel", ie with the slight wave. My hair was so heavy that it would straighten out when dried. I'm going to try out wavy tomorrow!

Thanks, Kailash!
