I also cannot explain my complete and utter loathing for the term 'baby bump'. It just seems really invasive and embarrassing, or something.
I'm with you. It's so cutesy and overly familiar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Bisous Pure Belgian Chocolate Edible Anus is made from the finest chocolate from Belgium crafted into an eerily accurate replica of an anus. One consumer said it was the best anus he’d ever paid for. I am in complete agreement.

From way back,
Pretty sure our feralberries are just blackberries. That's what everyone else calls them, and they don't really taste anything like raspberries.
Well, bizarrely, blackberries look much more like raspberries than black raspberries do. And the taste of black raspberries (to me) is like neither. Black raspberries look like smaller, more compact raspberries. See pictures here: [link]
The season (at least on the East Coast) is very short. The Brooklyn Greenmarket usually had them for one week, two max.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that is terrible about Teddy.
I know "baby bump" is to distinguish it from "Ewwww fatty!" but I agree that it's yuck.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
They also always say 'showing off her baby bump." Um, not really-- she is pretty much just pregnant, and you know, walking around!

Sophia, I totally know what you mean. I think it has to do with the mags obsession with celeb pregnancy. When did pregnancy become a totally IT thing in the celeb world? eta if you scroll through those photos more than half are a celeb with kids. Is it like oh! they are real people! They parent too?

You think so? I think blackberries are a whole different shape, even in that picture, though black raspberries tend to be shinier than red ones are. I agree that black raspberries don't really taste much like red raspberries though.

Well, I guess I mean in terms of the size of the non-baby bumps (seeds?). In that picture the black raspberries seem much closer in size to the raspberries. But, when I was growing up, we grew raspberries and had wild black raspberries, which were much smaller. But that was perhaps because they were wild. But, yes, they are shiny.
