Hi b.a.d.,

I believe the word in your sentence is stacks not sticks.

Stacks is slang for breasts. If you're referring to Pamela Anderson, you may even say jiggle-stacks.

Example: b.a.d., check out that girl's stacks. They are wonderful!

Thanks, guys. But what would you say about this?
Urban Dictionary: sticks
page 3, points 16 and 18
I think it is written by native speakers too.

I'm not sure how authoritative these entries are, b.a.d.

The definition given by Busta Williams seems to suggest that sticks usually refers to a hot pair of legs "in a hot pair of jeans and a hot pair of boots." Does this mean that a sexy, beautiful pair of legs in a miniskirt are not usually hot?

Also make sure to hang on to every word Dirty D! writes. You simply can't escape his eloquence! "Yo! Check the sticks on dat chik man! 'specially where dey meet! crazy to see a chick like dat out here in da sticks aint it?!?! Hope she got somethin to smoke wit no sticks and no seedz! lets hook up...."

Fowler may have wondered if that was English, or he may have simply hanged himself!

This is not to say that you can't use sticks to refer to a pair of legs metaphorically, but the word has nothing to do with a pair of jeans or boots as Busta Williams suggests.

Not every word uttered in the street becomes an entry into the English language.

The Urban Dictionary may be fun to read, but it hasn't yet replaced the old trusted O.E.D.

There is formal English and there is informal English. Dirty D's contribution, however, is neither.

Finally, learning from Dirty D will not help you pass an English exam, but it may help you get an acting role in a Hollywood flick portraying someone like Dirty D.

It all depends on your goals.

Thank you, Baffled!

Not exactly. But we might say about a woman with large breasts that she is stacked. A few slang words for breasts:

tits
boobs
jugs
melons

I'm not sure what you meant by "Not exactly." Please explain. Thanks!

No, that's not right. You don't have it quite right.

You are quite convincing, RonBee. Thanks for the explanation!

I numbered my entries for you, RonBee. Please tell me which entry you disagree with and why.

Thanks!

I don't disagree with any of it. (Some of the comments are facetious.) Is all of it from the Urban Dictionary?
