Dated slang for breasts — a playful, slightly ridiculous euphemism that borrows the sound of 'garbanzo' (chickpea) and inflates it into something with comedic heft. It's the kind of word that belongs to a particular era of lowbrow humor — think 1980s comedies or locker-room wordplay — and doesn't get much airtime today. That datedness is actually part of its charm: it's too goofy to be offensive and too silly to be taken seriously.
The old comedy special had an entire bit about garbonzas that would never fly today but somehow still gets a laugh.

A vulgar, playful slang term for a female breast. It belongs to the long tradition of colorful, nonsensical-sounding words English speakers invent for body parts — think along the lines of 'bazooka' or 'boob' territory but with extra syllables and maximum absurdity. The word has a comedic, cartoonish energy that makes it feel more like a Benny Hill sketch than genuine vulgarity. Not widely used today but immediately understood when deployed.
