chicken chest

[faryan]

Is it okay to say 'chicken chest' when talking about chicken meat?

[SoothingDave]

Chicken breast.

Breast, wing, thigh, leg (or drumstick)

Or, for those who are offended by the word 'breast' (yes, there really are some such people), it's 'white meat'.

Was bosom actually used once upon a time in some circles instead of breast or is that an urban myth?

SERIOUSLY?! OK, there's something else I never knew. Obviously, I knew about "white meat" but I never considered the fact that anyone could be offended by the word "breast". Goodness, what a bizarre world we live in.

In this case, the only bizarre thing is how far people will stretch Political Correctness ....

Ah, but this was long before political correcness had been invented, at a time when tables and chairs had to have 'limbs' not 'legs' in polite society. Even in the early twentieth century, at a performance of Synge's playboy of the Western World', the "audience broke up in disorder at the word 'shift'" ( woman's undergarment) (Free Term Papers on Consider The Position Of Women In J.M.Synge)
