The slang word tit derrives from the word teat, which is correctly pronounced either as tĭt (tit) or tēt (teet).A teat is the small, exterior part of the body from which milk is discharged. For humans, the teats are the nipples on a woman's breasts; for cows, teats are the finger-shaped protrusions on the udder.The slang word tit does not correlate directly to teat, since the term tit refers to the entire breast, not just the nipple.
