The bobtube = television A boobtube = a stretchy fabric one piece female garment that extends from the waist to (almost) cover the breasts.

Ive never ever called one of those tops a boobtube although it might be appropriate................it was always just a tube top! Where Im from in the midwest US, a boobtube was always a TV. Maybe a Bobtube would be for someone named Robert on TV? MikeMaben, R Palimaka, Lothar and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Thanks - it kinda deflates badly when correcting something, where national differences in terminology should be taken into account - and then typo-ing it. I could've gone back and corrected it just now, but I'll leave it untouched as a reminder of the folly in being pedantic. Or exacting, if preferred.

I've seen some guys at airshows whose t-shirts should have been called that too...but we won't go there. Not an image you want in your head.
