chicken cutlet
n.— «“Chicken cutlets” is the name for silicone pads that women (indeed, virtually all actresses and models) slip into their bras to make their bust appear larger and perkier. They’re called “chicken cutlets” because that’s what they resemble. They’re also sometimes called “explants” because that’s basically what they are—silicone implants worn outside the body. The term “chicken cutlets” is the most commonly used term for these breast-enhancers in the fashion industry and Hollywood. She wasn’t talking about putting actual poultry in her bra people.» —“‘Jen’ Doe” by Fashionista Salon Mar. 2, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
