A distended stomach caused by overeating.

In this way, peplums also help those with less shapely body types by creating new Coke-bottle curves. Personally, I'm grateful that they mitigate signs of a "food baby," more commonly known as bloat.

All this follows Perry's comments at her Madison Square Garden concert on Nov. 16, where, according to multiple reports, she told the crowd she was bloated with a "food baby" from eating "New York City pizza."

Vinny sticks out his stomach and taps it with his hands.

Vinny: I got a food baby working here.

I start laughing. It hurts my gut.

I used to (and occasionally still do) marvel at the sheer variety and obscurity of associations, from the General Society of Mayflower Descendants: http://www.themayflowersociety.com/ to the National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry: http://www.nationalgrange.org/ to the Puppeteers of America: http://www.puppeteers.org/. Now I've come to believe that for almost any topic you can think of there's at the very least a web page and also likely a blog dedicated to that subject. Food babies are no exception, with The Food Baby: http://foodbabytoday.blogspot.ca/2011_01_01_archive.html blog ("Celebrating the Pursuit of Gluttonous Endeavors") a going concern since January, 2011.

Many thanks to Karen H. for spying this term.
