I am deeply offended by the phrase 'depict female upper body nudity',
which should read 'show breasts'. In future please clearly label any
posts which include examples of violence to language so that I don't
have to look.

Here is a story that Alistair Cooke told in a 'Letter from America':

-- 
Talking of which glittering scenes reminds me of Winston Churchill's
encounter with an American turkey dinner. As a young soldier of 20 he
pulled his mother's apron strings, who pulled other powerful strings to
get him released from his regiment in order to go off to Cuba and watch
the turn of century fighting there. On his way he passed through New York
and was invited to dinner by a society hostess friend of his mother's.

Poised over the turkey the hostess said: "Which, Mr Churchill, would you
prefer?"

"Er," he said, "I should like the breast." 

"In America," the lady rebuked, "we talk about the white meat and the dark
meat." 

Next morning a corsage arrived from the 20-year old at the hostess's house.
It bore a little card saying: "Thank you so much for a delightful evening,
I do hope you will wear this on your white meat."

Perhaps nowadays he would ask her to wear it on her female upper body.
