Hello, I'll let other Czechs to comment on this, they are more qualified for it, so I'll just post a link to a thread about the very same topic on the Other Slavic languages subforum - All Slavic: "Breasts": Differences between grudi, prsi, dojki, njedro

I'll just throw in some slangish/colloquial words for breasts in French.

Some can be used in the singular and plural, some can only be used in the plural.

Sein(s), poitrine (normal word), nichon(s)/nichonaille/nichonnasses, loloches (plural), boobs (the English word), eins (verlan de seins, always used in the plural), nibard(s)/nib(s), tétés (from téton "nipple"), obus (these are really big breasts), nénés, miches, roberts (not sure it's still used, really old), pare-chocs (I love this one but it's quite "offensive"), mamelles, pis (these are for cows "pis de vache", I picture a very old, not so pretty pair of breasts), airbags, titines, tétines, balcon (y a du monde au balcon, a generous pair of breasts), if you want to say something to a woman who have small breasts you can say that she's a "planche à pain" or that she has "oeufs au plat". gougoutte(e), lolos (childish), loches (I think these are big breasts "t'as vu cette grosse paire de loches ?!"), if you like fruits you can also say "ananas" and "pamplemousses" but it's not really slang I think, it's mostly old-fashioned (it comes from a song -- funny), melons, flotteurs (old-fashioned too), roploplos (old-fashioned too, sound really funny), micheton(s), signes extérieurs de richesse, boules, meules, tchoutches... there must be a ton of others but I think I'm gonna stop here.

 

[Dymn]

Polite terms: pit (both one or two, the most common name), mama (also "mom", used in càncer de mama "breast cancer"), mamella, si

Slang terms: pitrera, mamellam, peres ("pears"), melons, popes (Lleida), davantera (davant: "in front"), metes, etc. Most youngsters nowadays only say tetes though (Spanish tetas).

 

[SuperXW]

In Taiwanese Chinese:
...
波波 (lit. wave)
大波 (lit. big wave)
太平公主 (lit. very fat princess-->pun with a name of a princess in the Tang Dynasty)

Funny topic, interesting information. But could 波 be borrowed from Hong Kong Cantonese? It is originally a transliteration of the English word "ball", instead of meaning "wave".
太平公主 is "very flat princess", not "very fat". 太平 "very flat" puns with "peace". "Peace Princess", that was the real connotation of the title.

nénés

That's funny because in Taiwan the ㄋㄟㄋㄟ [nɛnɛ] I mentioned sounds almost the same.

Ah yeah, néné(s) here is /ne.ne/, like you know it apparently that's "ineneresting*" I guess. Well, onomatopeic words tend to sound similar sometimes right ? Is yours too ? Onomatopeic I mean...

Yes I did it -- don't worry you can roll your eyes, facepalm yourself and/or bang your head against a wall (no don't do that).

 

[ThomasK]

Dutch; "tieten" is the vulgar word; "balkon" (balcony) might be used to refer to them as well... ;-)

Not always. At least the nene(ねね) means "sleep, slumber" in Japanese.
