Question: 'Why is a waist called a waist?'

[toughb]

Answer: 'because anything above the pussy and below the tits is a waste'

 

[JoyfulC]

I looked this up in a couple dictionaries and was surprised to find that "waste" was taken from "growth":

ETYMOLOGY:
Middle English wast, perhaps from Old English *wæst, growth, size; see aug- in Indo-European roots

I had always figured that 'waist' had something to do with a wasting between the rib cage and the hips, but now it looks like just the opposite.

Good question! Thought provoking...

Its called a waste because SOMEBODY could have fit another set of tits there.

What a waste.

Cause, there are no pussies or tits on the front or ass in the back!
