Pasties in US usage are sticky (usually round) pieces of fabric that are stuck over the nipples. (See (pretty-much work friendly) picture here.) (That was the first work-friendlyish picture I could think of, and I wasn't sure I was describing them well at all.)
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If I only had a brain...
"Meat and two veg"? Now *there's* a euphemism I'd never heard before. Goodness.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hey, why don't they make pasties for testacles?
Because men are too intelligent so put adhesive on the oh so fragile skin covering erectile tissue?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Most of the strippers I know (or knew) are going for the liquid latex nowadays (or the low-rent version, that brown masking tape stuff).

Can you make a living just stripping nowadays, or do you have to lap-dance?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It depends on where you are. Some cities don't allow lap-dances, so yeah. Some do shows and they don't do lap dances at all.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
And weaning is like sprinkling Instant Mummy on them.
This made me laugh so hard in COMM I had to come to UnAm to pay tribute. Hee!
Downside to weaning: lost two cup sizes (one from pregnancy and one that I had started with), no more instant cure-all for baby ills.
Upside: all new bras bought from the "pretty bras" rack, instead of ones from the "made by a thwarted and bitter structural engineer" section of the lingerie department, no more long surreal conversations with toddlers about the subtle taste differences between "mama milk" and "refrigerator milk."

Pasties -- pastry folded over and cooked with meat or fruit inside. Er...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have fruit pasties? Yummy. Though we call those tarts in J'ca.

Don't forget on the upside: Ability to choose clothing for day without regard to ITA (immediate tit access). If I couldn't bare one breast without flashing the population, it went into the back of the closet.
