Re: GR translation: checking out tits ‘n’ asses, waistlines ‘n’ baskets

basket for breasts in this context seems rather unlikely as we have the

In the urban dictionary I found that:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=basket: Could mean balls,
obviously, but vagina too. Take your pick?
