From YKTTW Working Title: Mammaria Majores
MarqFJA: Spun off from this discussion, and ultimately from the Buxom YKTTW, which accidentally split off into Booberiffic (now Cut Listed), Huge Tracts Of Land, and If You've Got It, Flaunt It. See also the Misuse of breast tropes and the Tropeability of Breast Tropes / Related Tropes forum dicussions.
The current previous title, Mammaria Majores, can be taken as both an abbreviation of glandulae mammaria majores (sic; correct form majorum) ("Greater Mammary Glands"), and as pseudo-Latin for "major mammaries" (= "greater[-sized] breasts").
Proposed Alternate Titles (do not alter; additions are to be discussed first):
- Mammae Majores: Second proposed title. Proper Latin for "Greater Breasts", akin to the Real Life term labia majora (lit. "greater lips"); cf. pseudo-Latin Biggus Dickus. The "proper Latin vs. pseudo-Latin" dichotomy, by completely unintentional but hilariously fitting coincidence, plays on a relatively common stereotype that "men are crude, women are refined". This Troper is a man, and admits that that particular stereotype is ironically true in many cases.
- Huge Tracts Of Land: original proposal title; from Monty Python and the Holy Grail; cf. Biggus Dickus, from same work.
- Huge Racks Of Land: pun on the pun.
- Breast Size: cf. Penis Size, alt-title for Biggus Dickus.
- Delicious Big Chest, Big Chested Girl,
Big Breasts Small Deal(don't know what I was thinking with the last one): vs. Delicious Flat Chest, Flat Chested Girl, Small Breasts Big Deal, alt-titles for Pettanko. - Booberiffic: portmanteau of "boob" and "stripperiffic"/"troperiffic".
- Boobalicious: portmanteau of "boob" and "delicious".
- Memetic Boobs and Memetic Rack: for Memetic Mutation version; cf. The Pornomancer and Memetic Sex God.
animeboy: Great so now that most common super power, and gag boobs have been cleared we have yet again another breast trope people need to get confused with
Marq FJA: ... You haven't read beyond the title, or even bothered to check the discussion threads mentioned above, have you? And what do you mean by "Most Common Superpower and Gag Boobs have been cleared"? PS
animeboy:sigh....relax. Poor choice of wording on my part, I apologize, and yes, I do understand the meaning of this trope. Unfortunately I can't say the same for other people who seem to think this trope applies to any character with huge breasts just like Most Common Superpower and Gag Boobs were(least from my perspective). I have no problem with the trope, just the usage.
Marq FJA: Apology accepted. And regarding usage problems: I, along others who have worked on refining this trope's scope, personally find it hard to believe that any depiction of big breasts does not have some subtext of Fanservice (intentional) or Fetish Fuel (unintentional). Thus, practically the only requirement for Buxom Is Better is that the size has to be noted as "considerably above average" in-universe, and preferably only if does not qualify for one of its more specialized Sub Tropes.
