Entry: paps (n.)
In context: "...the girl stands transfixed in alternating horizontal blue and white, then vertically slide by bar-cut sunlight, diced, drunk, so wrecked on good vintage her lips hang slack and the reflected cheeks' muscles have lost all integrity and the cheeks jiggle like the outstanding paps in her little sailor's top."
Definition: I'll just go ahead and state that DFW is here referring to (outstanding) breasts.
