Yes, hmm. Not a common term unless you're an English speaking  
middleschooler.

Falsies
 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In fashion, falsies is a term used in English to denote padding for  
use in a brassiere to create the appearance of larger breasts. The  
term is also, more rarely, used for pads which create the appearance  
of larger buttocks. In both cases, there is a note of (more or less)  
amusement conveyed by the term. In a specifically humorous context,  
the term refers to moulded plastic replicas of female breasts that  
may be worn (covered or uncovered) by males for comedic effect.  
Typically held onto the chest by elastic straps or forming the top  
part of an apron, they are a perennial favourite amongst university  
students.

An oddity of the language is that the term is never used to refer to  
plastic surgery enhanced breasts. When the artificial nature of such  
enhancements is discussed these are often called fakes or silicone jobs.

there you have it.
