Not what I had in mind. This term is not in my vocabulary, and I was 
understanding Myers' use of the term "sideboob" merely based on the 
context of the Fawcett poster and the designs of various swimwear tops 
that narrowly cover the nipple and areola part of the breast, revealing 
the rest of the breast, which isn't usually revealed as part of "normal" 
cleavage, and hence the titillation factor.

I'm kind of horrified -- but not surprised -- to find women talking 
about "side boob fat" and the need to lose it.
