In reply to:
"Not fat," I will respond," but abdominus."
If you replied to "Are you fat?" with "Lord no, I'm abdominus", would that make you Father TEd?

In the great lakes states, it's called a spare tire, or more frequently, a dunlap, not only because Dunlap makes tires, but "because yore belly dunlap over yore belt."
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.

Here in Wisconsin, we have ample subjects for extensive research in this area. 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.

I think it is especially fitting for a cleric, in that the "dominus" part of it sounds ecclesiastical.
So sensitive are complacent clergy to the condition described that the Latin rite contains a reminder of a main cause: Abdominus fo' biscuits.
