One way to picture breast: the front of the body, from the neck down to the stomach — the side that faces the world and goes first. From that one panel English gets the woman's breast, a bird's front and the meat cut from it, the front of a coat, the place feelings are said to live, and a verb for pushing forward chest-first.
