      Id have thought that boobs and tits were rather named after the birds as euphemisms

      Tit just used to mean small. That’s how the word came to be used for some boobs, then all boobs. Perhaps teat (nipple) got shortened also, but the bird is named for being small

      There’s also the titmouse which is littler than other mice
