If you call a woman bosomy, you are saying she has a large chest — large breasts. It is not a doctor's word, and it is not a kind nickname. It puts the body first, the way an old book, a film review, or a joke might. You will meet it in writing more than in careful speech, and it can feel a little old, or a little too interested in looking. People still use it, but many would pick a softer word, or say nothing about a person's chest at all. It is about shape. Though bosom can mean the wider, warmer front of the body — even the place a child is held — bosomy is almost always about size. It is not used about men, and it is a poor choice about anyone sitting in front of you.

- The essence of a tandem team is surely that it should be well balanced, sporting in appearance and that the horses themselves should at all events convey the impression of being able to do a long stage with ease and comfort. Now there can be nothing "sporting" about a beefy, bosomy, bad-shouldered tandem leader, who picks his fore feet up as high as he can, hangs them down again with a straight thrust on the ground, but a very little distance in advance of the spot from which he took them up.
