Buddha belly
Prominent rounded abdomen
A Buddha belly is a protruding, rounded stomach, evoking the potbellied depictions of the laughing Buddha common in Asian art and restaurants.
The term is usually affectionate or self-deprecating rather than harsh: He patted his Buddha belly after Thanksgiving dinner.
Buddha belly plants have swollen bases resembling the same rounded shape.
