The halter that elevates and holds in place human mammary glands, named for the inventor Phillipelde Brassiere.
Sometime in the mid twentieth century somebody started calling them bras, maybe because they could spell brassiere. Hardly any store advertises or customers ask for brassieres today. It's simply bra.

A garment worn under the clothes used to "lift and separate" a female'sbreasts. The names comes from bracière, the old french word referring to arm protector. The brassiere replaced corsets as the female undergarment around the 1900s, when it was most likely developed by Herminie Cadolle. This term is now archaic however and the garment is simply referred to as a "bra," which is french for "arm". Brassiere is only useful when one needs to refer to bras in code:
Eliza: So Laura do you want to go shopping for brassieres tomorrow?
Laura: Alright, that sounds good.
Mike: What's a brassiere?
Eliza: ... really long gloves. It means arm protector in french.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
