What the bump?
When I get pregnant, I plan to get massively rolly all over, just so no one can refer to my one, singular baby bump. Why doesn't this phrase bug everyone else? We get it -- celebrities are in better shape than everyone else, so they don't gain weight when they're pregnant, they just get a cute little bump. Or maybe, it's that, although we look at Britney's vagina every day in the tabs, we're shy about talking about a grown woman's belly. I don't know what the reasoning is, and I was shocked that my favorite nonmilitantly feminist blog, Jezebel, would perpetuate such silliness. Seriously can we just call a belly a belly? Or at least come up with a less annoying euphemisn? Bowling ball, lovehump, bun in the oven, whatever. Spread the word. The bump is over.
