Etymology of TEETS

The word "teets" is actually a colloquial pronunciation or slang spelling of the word "tits". The etymology of the word "tits" is believed to be derived from the Late Old English word "titt", which means a small or slender object. Over time, "titt" evolved into "tit", which referred specifically to a small bird, particularly the titmouse species. In the 17th century, "tit" started being used to describe the female breast, likely due to its perceived small and round shape resembling that of a bird. Eventually, the term "tits" became a commonly used slang expression for breasts. The variation "teets" may have emerged from regional dialects or informal speech patterns.
