Meaning of "limbless"
Hello everyone,
I have a doubt about the particular meaning of the word "limbless".
Is anyone able to tell me if it could refer to a woman who have very
little breasts?
I heard someone saying "she's still limbless as ever" while talking
about a girl, and I would like to be sure I understood him right.
Thank you very much for any answer on that question.

You didn't hear him correctly, let alone understand...

No. The word "limb" refers only to arms and legs.

It seems likely that you misheard. Could the person have said "legless"?
That is slang for "drunk".

Yeah definitely, as a joke.
I first thought it must have been legless as John said, especially if
there were plenty of booze around.
But limbless is also slang for very small tits. Makes me think of Jon
Stewart in the Daily Show making fun of models.
A bit cruel indeed for that chick, hope she wasn't listening...
