Cách sử dụng
The word ‘cleavage’ can have two different meanings in English, which can sometimes be confusing.The first meaning refers to a visible division or separation between two parts, usually referring to a woman’s breasts, which are commonly considered sexually attractive. When a woman wears a low-cut dress or blouse that reveals some of her breasts, the line or separation between the two breasts is referred to as her cleavage. Example: “Her low-cut dress revealed a lot of cleavage.”The second meaning of cleavage is a scientific term, used in geology, biology, and chemistry to describe the splitting of substances along visible planes or lines. Example: “The mineral had cleavage in several directions.”It’s important to understand the context of how and where ‘cleavage’ is used to avoid any misunderstandings. Generally, it is best to use the word ‘chest’ instead of ‘cleavage’ if you are unsure or uncomfortable about using it in context where it may be considered inappropriate.
