Not for any moral reason; it's just annoying and not remotely cute. 703744@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:16:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/12/114532.php#comment-702738 I'm 16, so I don't think of it as an insult. I guess talk to me in ten years? 702738@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 Mar 2008 20:21:39 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/12/114532.php#comment-702500 Add "va-jay-jay" to your word protest list please... Have we lost the ability to speak like adults? 702500@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:40:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/12/114532.php#comment-702137 A 'baby bump' remains midsection after the child is born, barring intense physical exercise, and truly might indicate that more pregnancies are in mind. We're also having some trouble with 'muffin-top' which might be used as slang to indicate the puffy abdominal appearance post-pregnancy. 702137@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:23:47 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/12/114532.php#comment-701788 I concur with this boycott. 701788@blogcritics.org Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:47:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/12/114532.php#comment-701744 That was a fun read, Joanne. I too am mildly annoyed by the term and will not mourn when it passes away in a few years to be replaced by something even more "cheeky". You're not old, you're pre-pre-old. 701744@blogcritics.org Thu, 13 Mar 2008 09:10:10 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/12/114532.php#comment-701628 Well, seeing as how the people sporting the baby b----s (and the people writing about them) tend to think of children as accessories anyway, what do you expect? I'd join you in your boycott but I don't think I ever used the term in the first place. 701628@blogcritics.org Wed, 12 Mar 2008 19:11:06 EDT
