[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm way, WAY more bothered by people using words that are inaccurate. Saying you have a stomach ache when your stomach is not involved bugs me. Talking about your vagina when you mean your labia or your vulva bugs me. Worse, teaching your child to talk about her vagina! A preschooler has no experience of her vagina at all. "Lady parts" covers the subject without being overly clinical or WRONG. And so, belly and tummy are much preferable to me. It's a useful general term, and I would rather hear general terms than wrongly-used specific ones.[/quote] Agree, but to me tummy is a short, cutesy (and childish) word for stomach, whereas belly is a general term--albeit cutesy and possibly childish--for the abdomen. Personally, I would never use (and hate to hear someone else use) belly as in belly ache, or yummy in my belly, but if you are talking about a pregnant woman's abdomen, belly, to me, is an obvious choice.
