You wanna know what's worse? I once heard semen referred to as "baby batter." Almost makes me not want to have anything to do with it anymore.
Almost.
I'm trying to replace this in popular discourse with the phrase "grossly swollen uterus." Join me, won't you?
jf
"Is that a grossly swollen uterus under Nicole's dress?"
Yes, this works. Thank you, Josh.
I mostly despise "baby bump" because it's lazy. It's in all the magazines so people say it because it's easier than coming up with something like "grossly swollen uterus" which is the most wonderful non-euphemism I've ever heard.
I am definitely in favor of "grossly swollen uterus"...now if there was just a replacement for "and she's about to pop."
i've stabbed people in the neck for less.
Marykat: may I suggest "Any moment now, she'll expel the mucus plug!"?
Yes. Yes I do.
In fact, whenever I am confronted by this type of inanity I want to lean into the face of the offending speaker and in an exaggerated accent say "No speaka da breeder, only speaka da engrish!"
It's pregnancy. You're a bloated tick. Get over it.
Sometimes euphemisms are better. My just-turned-35 year old pregnant wife was told that she was considered a "geriatric pregnancy" by her doctor. Soft sells can be easier.
I envy your kindness.
I strive to one day only want to stab them in the neck.
I thank my fluffy constipated god that I don't pick up whatever magazines or watch whatever TV shows that use the phrase "baby bump." Otherwise, yes: you might have been reading about me as the terrifying neck-stabber killer.
