Thank You Mel Gibson For The New Slang

"Sugar Tits". His team needs to run out and copyright it right away. I had never even heard it before. Had anyone else?

:sarcasm:

1. Yeah, I've heard it.

It's our nickname for a buddy of ours. I can't remember the joke that started that nickname, but it stuck. And now I'm having a ball that it's in the news.

2. Anyone who's read Gone With the Wind has heard (or read) it

A sugar tit originally was a sweet used to quiet babies. One recipe I found says it's just some butter and sugar tied up in a piece of cloth which the baby sucks on. Hence the name.

Mel has put a new spin on it, indeed.

3. I've heard it before.

Lots, in fact.

We used to use that one quite a bit in college.

4. Domain squatting on sugartits.com

Someone already grabbed it. He's too late for the website, at least.

5. I heard it in "Sweet Dreams"

Patsy Cline all in a grumpy mood and her mom say "Oh you ol' bawl baby with you lip hangin' down. Mama should fix you a sugar tit". (I think it's sugar water)
