tit,teat, mamma, mammary, "a milk cow with 310 million tits."


2010  President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform released an outlined plan to tackle the nation's fiscal problems Wednesday, but the New York Times' Paul Krugman says the commission's claims to bipartisanship are paper-thin. Krugman faults the panel's Democratic co-chairman, Erskine Bowles, for harboring small-government sympathies while noting that his Republican counterpart has described Social Security as "a milk cow with 310 million tits."



tit

n.
  1. A titmouse.
  2. Any of various small, similar or related birds.
adj. New England & Upstate New York
Small; undersized.

[Short for TITMOUSE. Adj., Middle English tit-, as in titmose, titmouse. See titmouse.]
REGIONAL NOTE Tit is an old Germanic word for "small" and is used in various northern European languages to refer to small objects, animals, or people, especially girls-for example, titta is a Norwegian dialect word for "little girl." The word is most common in American English in combinations that denote various small birds, such as the titmouse or tomtit. A titman in the 19th century could mean a small or stunted person, as Henry David Thoreau indicates when he calls his generation "a race of tit-men." Tit and titman are still used in New England, mostly by farmers to refer to the runt of a litter of pigs.
