Subject: Original words for breasts

According to my nonprofessional opinion, laboriously researched with a beer in my hand, trying to avoid work, I make the proposal that the original word or sound to communicate the idea of "breast" was the monosyllabic "ta". When referring to two it became "ta-ta" so today we find it as evidenced in the phrase "bodacious ta-tas."

Of course in the human theatre, there is no way one simple phrase will suffice for long. The snobby, upper ridge cave dwellers wished to show how intelligent they were and wanted to change it. To do this, they avoided the simplistic "ta-ta" and made it two different sounds, the first "hooo" the second "tas." "Tas" remained from before to become a common linguistic link. The new word became "hoo-tas" today we say "hooters." Ironically it has kept the meaning of "place to eat" since the restaurant "Hooters" was established, fine and fun dining. What else is there to say.
