a bookish term for "well-endowed"

[Maryna Vinarska]

I agree. It simply slipped my memory. I read your posting after I sent 
mine. But mine "also colloquial" meant that "grudastaja" is as 
qolloquial as the English word is. I have "Oxford Advanced Learner's D." on my 
desk. It says that the English word is "informal, humourous". So I wrote 
what I wrote.
And as to "pyshnogrudaja",  yes, it is not "informal or humorous", but 
exactly from the HIGH-brow literature.
And I have no idea if the English word is really informal and humorous 
in American English. It's the first time I have seen this word at all, 
I think.

"pyshnogrudaia" (as well as "vysokogrudaia") is what has been used in
high-brow literature, both native and translated from other languages.
