cutlet

cutlet
 n.— «All the nurses had these pretend bosom things that we would put into these period bras. We called the devices chicken cutlets; they beefed everything up a little bit. But it was so hot some days that I would take my little cutlet out and lay it down on the lunch table or somewhere and forget about it.» —“Gorgeous men made the hard work go a bit easier” by Tim Ryan Honolulu Star-Bulletin (Hawaii) May 20, 2001.
