pot belly
Abdominal fat bulge
A pot belly is a rounded, protruding abdomen—the shape suggesting a pot.
The term describes both the physical condition and the person who has one: He's developed quite a pot belly since retirement.
A pot belly stove is a squat, bulbous cast-iron stove once common for heating.
Also spelled potbelly.
