boulder holder

Slang for brassiere

Boulder holder is slang for a brassiere.

The humorous term plays on the idea of breasts as boulders—large, heavy objects requiring structural support.

It belongs to a category of playful euphemisms for undergarments, similar to "over-the-shoulder boulder holder," the fuller form of the expression.
