Note to sewing magazines and books: please, please, please will you stop referring to the "derrière"? Likewise, "fluff".

Heh, I got around that by buying them in Germany, so I only had to put up with things like, "Hotpants feiern ihr großes Comeback!"

I am not sure if that is better or worse! I now feel impelled to go to WHSmith and see if Burda are in the derriere club.in

I am really sorry to lower the tone, but 'in the derriere club' just makes me think of mpreg.

But then Ianto, Daniel, Sam, or whoever will definitely need printed patterns because the selection of off-the-rack male maternity wear is so poor.

Although bulging biceps would, at last, make the puffed sleeves make some sense.

Yes, someone would need to get going running up maternity smocks in manly denim, khaki, and SGA-issue 'I'm Going To Get Shot At, Aren't I?' black. Not to mention belly-supporting leatherwear with 'forgiving' lace-up sides.

My LJ is contaminated! On the other hand, I am supposed to be writing an MPreg fic, so I supposed I ought to be thinking about these practical issues.

Wimsey/Potter crossover, in which I do not cop out with either (a) aliens or (b) every sensible man's abortion.

You're a braver woman than I am. Though, come to think about it, if someone let a couple of Dementors loose on the Western Front it would go a long way towards explaining Lord Peter's war trauma, and also give him cause to know what Bunter's Patronus is.

This is clearly the explanation!

Masochism? I did a couple of short crackfics on the subject in response to a challenge, but felt that I had cheated really and that it would be a writing challenge to try and do it properly. Only without the vomit-inducing element that usually arises in mpreg. Or the explicit sex. I have my limits.

'maternity smocks in manly denim, khaki, and SGA-issue 'I'm Going To Get Shot At, Aren't I?' black.'

I know several women who would be eternally grateful for maternity wear like that

"Fluff" as in "derriere fluff"?

Thank you for that image.

As in euphemism for "fat" (or even just "presence of actual body").

I forget where I was discussing this before and someone mentioned that fluff (used to mean fat) had arisen from a cat-based group. So cats that were large were described as 'fluffy'. Though why anyone ever thought it was appropriate to extend the euphemism to women, I have no idea. It is sickening.

That would make sense, although it is still wierd. I find that it really, really puts me off what might otherwise be useful resources.

Indeed. For goodness sake, women! It is fat, muscle, tissue, whatever. Even just body! If you do need a really generic word, then we already have flesh. All are less disturbing than "fluff".
