chests

Torsos or containers

Chests are sturdy containers with lids, typically rectangular and used for storage: a treasure chest, a hope chest, a toy chest.

The chest is also the front of the torso between neck and abdomen, containing the heart and lungs.

To get something off your chest is to unburden yourself by confessing or expressing it.

A chest of drawers is a piece of furniture with stacked drawers for clothing.
