How about Honkers?

Use of either at a formal dinner party would make you a boob, since both are very crude ways of describing a woman's bosom. However, if I must choose, I'd guess I'd have to go with hooters. Knockers always seems to imply that the breasts are somehow sagging and and so droopy that they knock about when a woman moves. If I have to be reminded of breasts at a formal party, I'd rather not be reminded to the sagging breasts of an old woman, but rather the perky breasts of a young broad.

I cant imagine a formal dinner where breasts would need to be discussed at all.... unless you are perhaps a cosmetic surgeon, which I doubt. If I absolutely had to refer to that part of the female anatomy I would say bosom,or chest. If a female diner is exposing a lot of her chest, it is probably not appropriate to elbow the fellow next to you and hiss, "catch a look at those hooters."

How about employing The Golden Rule... just think of how you would prefer your "male anotomical part" to be referred to respectfully at a formal dinner. This should give you some idea of which is the correct term for the female's breasts.

At a formal dinner, you shouldn't be talking like that at all. But, if you really have to, I would say breasts.

lol...out of those 2 choices I would say that ''hooters'' is more appropriate..but really u should call them ''breasts'' but i think that sounds too formal for everyday situations and I personally think that ''boobs'' if the best term because its cute and still sounds a little innocent when referring to something that cab be SEXual...lol..what do u think?

it depends, are you a mature adult ready to identify things by their real names or a googoo eyed boy (pre man) desperate to see his first real life pair of breasts?
