tatter
n.— «Heather and her parents go out with Bret to eat. Instantly, her parents get hammered and start making fart and poop jokes. Bret loves them. Heather goes to ride the mechanical bull, and when it starts “shimmy shaking,” she says “my tatters are flip-flopping everywhere.” That is one euphemism for fake breasts I had never heard before. My opinion of Heather is greatly improved after seeing her parents.» —“Rock of Love: Episode 10, “Meet the Parents” Recap” by John Kubicek BuddyTV Sept. 17, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
