Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:
Person 1: Did you know the word "perky," more or less exclusively used to describe breasts since the 1930s, likely goes back to the old French word "perquer"?
Person 2: Which means…?

Panel 2:
Person 1: To perch, as of a bird, in the sense of looking upright and well put together.

Panel 3:
Person 2: Wait, so if I buy some chickadees I can go around talking about my perky tits?

Panel 4:
Person 1: No, the bird and breast senses of "tit" are not related. It's an etymologically unsound boob joke.
Person 2: Forget I said it.
