bulge
Rounded outward push
A bulge is a rounded swelling or protrusion where a surface curves outward: a bulge in his pocket, the bulge of her pregnant belly.
To bulge is to swell or stick out: His eyes bulged with surprise.
The Battle of the Bulge was a WWII German offensive that created a bulge in Allied lines.
In slang, bulge refers to the visible outline of male genitals through clothing.
