This reminds me what a stupid child I was. A girl without breasts was called "flat as washboard" and it baffled me, as washboard has all those waves in it, it is not FLAT.
I should have thought about ribs, of course. Children did not have enough to eat back when the saying was born, so the ribs were puking thorough in the space where breasts would cover them up otherwise ...
