Boobishness (n.)
A feeling of mild discomfort or embarrassment
that is experienced by some people whilst in the company of a mother who is
breast-feeding, particularly one who is actually rather attractive or unusually
well-endowed.
Boobishness is a form of stress caused by the
tension between wishing to appear completely casual and unperturbed by the
situation on the one hand, and the fear of accidentally glancing directly at the
breast on the other. In acute cases, the sufferer may have to leave the room
while feeding takes place, and to avoid any further embarrassment, on no account
should the mother attempt to talk directly to the person whilst remaining
exposed in this manner.
