Sometimes the douchebaggery posted by trolls is so bad, the only item that can get things back on track is a sideboob shot of Kate Upton, which is amazeballs by any stretch of the imagination.

Uhh how was catfish not in the dictionary before? I know the context they are using it for this purpose, but were there no anglers choosing words before?

underboob?
August 15th, 2014 at 4:38 PM ^
Next year.

Not familiar with that, does Oxford show some examples? Can someone here provide some illustrations?

for knockering off all three---side boob, underboob, and boob sweat---all in one fine, fine picture.
August 15th, 2014 at 3:38 PM ^
I still don't understand. Could you post more examples??

Is boobsweat already in there? My fiancée is always complaining about boobsweat.

This is used all the time here in Atlanta. I laugh every time I hear a woman say: "she's a hot mess"!

Underboob is the new sideboob.
August 14th, 2014 at 8:49 PM ^
Under has always been superior to side

Sitting on my porch, pulling on an E-cig and live-tweeting all the college side boob that was strolling by, when one of my roommates came home humble bragging about his new neck beard and looking for a bro hug.

C'mon dictionary, you're better than that.
And get off my lawn.

It's amazeballs how many girls who walk around with ample, visible side boob hang around dudes with insane amounts of douchebaggery.

"Hot mic" seems to have been around for quite a while.
I mean, the "that oughta hold the little bastards" urban legend dates back to the '20s, and I can't imagine the concept was around too much earlier than the term.

I'm not so sure cray, yolo and amazeballs are "fratty" terms. Much more likely those would be heard at a sorority at Michigan State.
