etaoin, on another thread, sez: sod is "a term I have used to describe an overhanging belly."

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?

FABIAN: I wish I had a pot.
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.

I saw a doctor's note referring to a patient's "pendulous, protuberant panus". Rather larger than a beer belly though.

I LOVE the word "abdominus." 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.
