The hips do lie

I found myself using the phrase ‘child-bearing hips’ to describe a particularly shapely young lady who was walking along the street in front of us.
Haron hadn’t ever heard the phrase before, and it struck me that neither had I for many years. Yet my parents used to use it pretty regularly.
And then it occured to me: it must have have been their shorthand. So much more subtle than commenting on a girl’s spankability. So much politer than certain cruder modern alternatives (”Nice arse”). So much more politically correct than discussing which implement would be most suited to the backside in question, as Haron and I are wont to do whilst walking down the street.

A reasonably common phrase in my house too (well, not my house now, but the one I grew up in) - it wasn’t necessarily all that complimentary though. Shorthand for “fat arse” rather than “nice arse”, as per my mother at least…
I shan’t ever be able to hear it again now though without having slightly different thoughts
littenic: I would have to agree…as per the way my Dad said it and the hips in question….but I do much prefer the version presented here….highlighting yet again Abel and Haron’s brilliance at perverting reality…..
Sod political correctness, walking down the street discussing which implement would most suit the bottom in front is much more fun than commenting on their child bearing potential… I’m sticking to that
I was once told “With a backside like that you wouldn’t fall off a horse” Not sure it was a compliment!!!!!
Omg, I’d die if I overheard someone muttering about my childbearing hips behind me in the street! Seriously guys, stick to nice arse - it’s a far better compliment!
