mammaries
Chest milk producers
Mammaries is an informal or humorous term for breasts, from the anatomical term mammary glands—the milk-producing organs of female mammals.
The word often appears in joking or slightly clinical contexts as a way to refer to breasts without using cruder slang: Nice mammaries sounds like mock-scientific ogling.
