Your Lei is Wrapped Around Your Breast

[scrivener]

We need a word for this occurrence. You know what I'm talking about: A woman is given a lei, and after some movement on the part of the recipient, the lei wraps itself lovingly around one breast, sometimes to be photographed that way.

I find it both hilarious and appalling, and I'm tired of not knowing what to call it, so I'm putting the call out here for the loonies on HT. Any suggestions?

Some that popped into my mind:
Garland Grab
Ti Leaf Feely
Aloha Malfunction
Tuberose Tangle
Carnation Clutch

(these are too flower-specific...I'm drawing a blank)

Bussom Blossoms! :p

Lop Sided Lei! ! :eek:



Auntie Lynn :D

boob bulbs

areolei

[Menehune Man]

A Hawaiian Sling Fling! ;)

Or how 'bout a Tilted Jilted Lei? :confused:

[alohabear]

I like to call it "Full of Aloha"

[MadAzza]

Wow ... made me look!

"Aureolei" -- ROTFL!

[lurkah]

boobie booboo

[pzarquon]

I gotta admit, "areolei" made my morning.

As for a term that you could use to politely inform the... encircled individual of her condition, I suppose "you're so full of aloha" works. Or maybe some variation on how one's cups runneth over... :p

I have to admit that I can't quite picture this. I need photos.

I find it both hilarious and appallingReally? How so? Just 'cause things fall the way they fall ("intelligent falling" theory, rather than gravity)? Like as in "funniest home videos" way?

Scriv - maybe you a little obsessed with that part of the female anatomy...how terribly NORMAL of you!

(And you can guess the mental images I will now have all day. I better not Google the former member of Forte...)

I volunteer.

You want with clothes or without?

Come this way to my BLOG >>>

Only JOKING! :p

(Ooops! The lei's couldn't reach my breasts. MAKULE! 50 years old.) :eek:

[Glen Miyashiro]

Umm. Thanks, Aunty.

[pzarquon]

Erm, not quite.

As I browse around galleries of photos of people wearing lei, I think one key factor in whether "areolei" occurs is whether the lei is a bit long. I think most well-chosen lei will drape only a few inches below the neck -- essentially, over the top of any... healthy protuberances (and they'd have to have some mass if we're talking about the lei wrapping "around" anything).

A lei would have to be kinda long to loop under a loop-able breast, basically. Of course, lei also come at lengths that reach to the waist, at which point there's not much looping happening. But yes, it does happen.

I can not believe we are discussing this...
Thank you, Scrivener --- you win this month's award for starting the best thread!

I can't help feeling that the expression of a "single breast caressed by a lei" has some kaona or hidden meaning attached to it. Care to ask your kumu about that, Uncle? And even if it doesn't, it might make for some interesting hula choreography for your halau, yourself included. And no, I'm not calling you mahu, either. :D

[craigwatanabe]

One shouldn't mention looping and breasts in the same sentence unless you add the word "torpedo" to it :D

The meaning doesn't seem quite so hidden, does it?

Perhaps I can offer to dance the part of the lei (as I'm our only kane dancer at the moment.)

same here.

I need to visualize. :D

Oh, now you're giving me chicken skin.

[Leo Lakio]

Oh, now you're giving me chicken skin.HA!

Let's hope it's just over the concept of the dance, and not the fact that I am old enough to be father to most of our dancers.

(Okay - that even creeps ME out...maybe I'll just stick to playing music for them.)

[scrivener]

I honestly don't see how anyone can not know what I'm talking about. I mean, I know I've seen it more than my fair share of times, since I was once a photographer for a lei-greeting company, but I've been seeing this all my life, and it has nothing to do with a breast-obsession.

Areolei has to be it. I think we need to go with that.

Couple more:

Enlei'd
Lei'd upon :D

[kimo55]

too lei'd you are.
the tribe has spoken.

[Miulang]

It's never too lei'd for a bazoom bustout bonanza.

"Your aloha is showing..."

[Surfingfarmboy]

Along the same lines, is there a name or term for the phenomenon where a woman carrying a handbag off her shoulder, with a long strap, has the strap nestle itself between both bosoms, hugging the outline and shape of one of them, similar for the propensity of lei to hug the the lower portion of bosoms as described in this thread?

[craigwatanabe]

You know Scrivner...you come up with some of the weirdest things to post and ponder about on this site. You're either a very deep thinker or high on some kind of illiicit drug :D

But I've always wondered if there is a term for when a pair of shorts pant leg is riding up your buttcrack and you don't want to look too conspicuous so you try to walk and spread your crack and hope the pants material will fall back around your thigh. In the meantime you draw attention to yourself for walking around as if (and it really is) something is up your ass instead of simply grabbing the pant leg and giving it a quick tug and get on with your walk.

Then theres the time when I just had to pick my nose because of an irritating whistling everytime I inhaled. I tried to do it inconspicuously but some lady caught me with my pinky right up my nostril. Instead of getting embarrassed I kept it there pulled out an imaginary wad and pretended to eat it in front of her. I think she was more embarrassed than I for witnessing something like that.

So what would you call that when you reverse the embarrassing situation to the viewer from the subject?

Oh! Look at the time? It's around lunch time. Oops :eek:

"Bandoliered"? A bandolier is an ammo belt that can be worn draped across the body...like in those Spaghetti westerns where the bad guys would wear two of those in a criss-cross pattern across their chest.
