KitchenWitch inspired me....so here's another silly question:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Who can tell me the origin of the phrase "the rack" as part of female anatomy?

I have always wondered about this.....

1. I think it may come from a rack of meat

check out that rack of lamb baby! :9

2. Antlers.

A large rack of antlers on a deer is desirable.
This desirablilty also applies to a woman's breasts in some cultures.
"Check out her rack."

3. Exactly

The trophy aspect comes into it as well.

4. perhaps it's a "rack" or shelf

for resting one's weary chin
