   • 1999, John Patterson, The Guardian, 17 Dec 1999:

     a DVD of the noxious, abominably brilliant 1983 teen sex-comedy Screwballs. That's right, the one about a foxy cheerleader named Purity Bush and the six nerds who'll move heaven and earth to catch an eyeful of her tanktop-straining wabs.

   • 2011, Caitlin Moran, How to be a Woman:

     But what of your wabs? After all, it's not like it's any easier to think of something to call your breasts. They sit on your ribcage, from the age of 13 onwards, and yet there's scarcely a word you can refer to them with that isn't going to make either you, or someone else, uncomfortable.

(lábhate, “to seize, to gain possession, to find, to have”), Ancient Greek ??????? (láph?ron, “booty, loot, plunder; gain, benefit”).
