RJ said breasts all the time, but in a more clinical manner - folding arms under breasts, etc Cannoli Send a noteboard - 26/09/2010 03:33:09 AM
We're all aware of Jordan's obsession with an "ample busom." What reader isn't? I don't think we heard a single busom description in TGS.


That's because it's one example of Brandon using the wrong terminology. Bosoms have become breasts in TGS.


IIRC RJ tended to reserve the term "bosom" for when someone was sexually objectifying a woman. Breasts were simply a body part, though there were exceptions to that, too. IE, when Kadere compares Isendre to Aviendha regarding their chances of seducing Rand, he notes that Aviendha is "full-breasted, compared to the Maidens."

Particularly the way he described sex. It reeked of Mormon discomfort with the topic. - 24/09/2010 02:04:08 AM 975 Views
