a bookish term for "well-endowed"

A search of lib.ru (Moshkov's library) gave 377 of pyshnogrudaja and 9 340
for pyshnotelaja. Without the silicon implants a woman is more likely to be
pyshnotelaja if she is pyshnogrudaja, plus interest in being well-endowed
(I am choosing words carefully) is a culture specific trait, namely it is
part of the English speaking (and probably Italian speaking and maybe some
other) world. French are more fascinated with legs (just look at all the
flat-chested movie stars who are parading their gorgeous legs), and to
figure out the Latin American culture you've got to look at women's bathing
suits.

Thus the choice of vocabulary and its frequency.
