Booby Contest

[englad]

Evening womangs of Lipsig,

So, as the title suggests, this is a booby contest. Tell me which one of these is your favourite booby. Let me introduce you to the contenders:

The Blue-Footed Booby has a more stylish footwear wardrobe than Imelda Marcos:

The Brown Booby has a sleek suaveness with a hint of identity theft, masquerading as slightly duck-like:

The Masked Booby can be found robbing a bank near you:

The Nazca Booby has a troubling penchant for drinking bad beer and waving flags with dubious, racist pasts:

Peruvian Booby has a go getting head for heights, and always bails at the sign of trouble:

And then last, but definitely not least, the Red-Footed Booby never leaves the nest without her trademark, slick make up style:

My heart and my danger hair will always be with the Blue Footed Booby.

After checking out all the boobies on display I have to acknowledge a fondness for the Brown Booby, something very classical in the stylings. Sleek boobies.

The red footed booby is my fave coz of its colouring

I love them all, but I think the blue one has to be my fave! Such a beauty

 

[LaFemme]

Blue footed booby, all the way. ‘Tis my favourite colour, and such an elegant booby.

Brown booby or masked booby get my vote

Nazca.
Although Blue Footed Booby is always a delight.

I like strutting my feathers...

So glad all the boobies got at least some appreciation. #noboobiesleftoutinthecold

I love the colors on the Red-Footed, but my vote for classical Booby has to go to Nazca.

Blue foot for me!

Where did boobies come from, I always wonder. Did an Eagle fuck a duck? Eagle, bro, fuck a duck is just a figure of speech, my friend.

AFAIK, they're named that way as they had a tendency to just land on ships, without an innate fear of humans. So sailors didn't think they were very bright, so they called them "booby", possibly coming from the Spanish slang word 'bobo', meaning 'stupid'. I think that's also the etymology behind 'booby trap'. Not sure about how human breasts got the slang word 'boobies' though. They're not the only birds of course with amusing names #shoutsouttoallthetitsandpeckers.

Blame Henry Miller, perhaps?

Why are Breasts Called "Boobs"?
