There is an urban legend that the brassiere was invented by a man named Otto Titzling ("tit sling") who lost a lawsuit with Phillip de Brassiere ("fill up the brassiere"). This originated with the 1971 book Bust-Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling and the Development of the Bra and was propagated in a comedic song from the movie Beaches. https://bootlegbetty.com/2007/01/06/urban-legends-and-folklore-the-story-of-otto-titzling-and-the-invention-of-the-brassiere/
