I guess the most common terms in the Upper Left Corner of the United States for this growth are beer belly or beer gut and spare tire. Others?

BUTCH: You were lookin' in the mirror and you wish you had some pot? FABIAN: A pot. A pot belly. Pot bellies are sexy. BUTCH: Well you should be happy, 'cause you do. FABIAN: Shut up, Fatso! I don't have a pot! I have a bit of a tummy, like Madonna when she did "Lucky Star," it's not the same thing. BUTCH: I didn't realize there was a difference between a tummy and a pot belly. FABIAN: The difference is huge. BUTCH: You want me to have a pot? FABIAN: No. Pot bellies make a man look either oafish, or like a gorilla. But on a woman, a pot belly is very sexy. The rest of you is normal. Normal face, normal legs, normal hips, normal ass, but with a big, perfectly round pot belly. If I had one, I'd wear a tee-shirt two sizes too small to accentuate it. ~Pulp Fiction.

Rather larger than a beer belly though.

In intend to use it henceforth with great frequency. I will use it to correct those shallow, myopic, unlettered persons who think that I am fat. "Not fat," I will respond," but abdominus." I think it is especially fitting for a cleric, in that the "dominus" part of it sounds ecclesiastical.

If you replied to "Are you fat?" with "Lord no, I'm abdominus", would that make you Father TEd? noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: O, that this too too solid flesh would melt #147601 09/08/2005 11:36 PM Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,788 Seattle, Washington, USA Father Steve Carpal Tunnel Father Steve Carpal Tunnel Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,788 Seattle, Washington, USA would that make you Father TEd?

A panniculectomy is known as a lap job, though, rather than a dunlap job. I don't recall hearing either term since moving to Pennsylvania. ----- Words fail me.

Our clinical research center in Euphemia, WI designates this as the Dunlop syndrome, i.e. a condition where the belly dun lop over the belt.

So sensitive are complacent clergy to the condition described that the Latin rite contains a reminder of a main cause: Abdominus fo' biscuits.
