"breasts," 1929, U.S. slang, probably from much older term boobies (late 17c.), related to 17c. bubby; all perhaps ultimately from Latin pupa, literally "little girl," hence, in child-talk, "breast." Or else it is a natural formation in English (compare French poupe "teat," German dialectal Bubbi, etc.). Entries linking to boobs bubby n. "a woman's breast," 1680s, of uncertain origin. Compare boobs. boob n. "stupid person," 1909, American English slang, perhaps a shortening of booby. For the "woman's breast" sense, see boobs.
