City council candidate David St. John, and his upscale barbershop Gents, has shown us the tasteful, classy way to refer to women’s breasts.

“Tatas” is categorized by Dictonary.com as “vulgar slang”, and is apparently a minced oath version of the more common (but perhaps more vulgar) T-word. Few dictionaries define “tata” as to mean “breast” at all, but usually as Cockney English baby-talk slang for “goodbye”.

So, David St. John’s idea of tastefulness is to put a huge banner with a baby-talk word for women’s breasts in front of his store. This would be like the Ritz Carlton putting up a banner that said “Kick Ass Weekly Rates”. I imagine if Gents were to hold a fundraiser for prostate or testicular cancer (which, considering the store’s target market, might make more sense) the banner would say “Save The Wee-Wees.”

You stay classy, Federal Way.
