Rant: The Word I Hate

  • Popular Post

I hate the word "pouch."

There, I've said it. I feel better now.

Yes, I know doctors use the word.

No, I don't have a better word.

I just don't like it.?

      I refer to my new stomach as my banana. Sleeve sounds too much like foreskin or something. Pouch just makes the bypass people sound like kangaroos. Kangaroos are cute.

      That's so funny, it bothers me too! I have absolutely no idea why, but I never use it.

    Fat doesn't bother me, obese doesn't bother me, but I never could stand when someone says "heavy set." wtf does that even mean!?
    I also hate the word panties!
