perk

A six-panel SMBC comic. A green-haired woman and a pink-flame-haired man stand talking in a dim purple-walled room. The woman explains that the word "perky" has more or less exclusively described breasts since the 1930s, going back to the Old French "perquer." When the man asks what it means, she says it means to perch, as of a bird, in the sense of looking upright and well put together. The man, intrigued, asks: "Wait, so if I buy some chickadees I can go around talking about my perky tits?" The woman deadpans that the bird and breast senses of "tit" are not related, so it's an etymologically unsound boob joke. Deflated, the man looks down and mutters, "Forget I said it." Votey aftercomic: a plain hand-drawn frame with the caption "About 10% of my jokes are written after a rabbit-hole down Etymonline."
