Don't call me a "prego"?

Question

Does anyone else get really annoyed with people saying "pregos", "a prego", or "preggers"? Personally I think it makes them sound stupid and immature.

Answer 1

Yah it bugs the c**p out of me,  I don`t know why people can`t just refer to things by their proper name, and not stupid elementary references.  

Answer 2

yes I agree but I use the short term because I do not know how to spell.

Answer 3

"Preggers" particularly bothers me... it's so bogan!

Answer 4

yeah...my brother calls me Prego...it is kind of annoying, but he's just a proud uncle who's trying to make me smile, LOL

Answer 5

Don't let people call you that!"Prego" is a p**n term for a person who has s*x during there pregnancy,[like a dirty w***e]and if anyone calls you that just walk away.

Answer 11

yea it is kinda annoying, wen did this start? who started it? nd pregnant is not that hard to say...mayb a baby said it cuz they couldnt pronouce pregnant..but that still doesnt make it acceptable for people who can say it to not...

Answer 12

yea kinda since prego is a type of tomato sauce

so it's like, 'um....she's not a tomato based substance.'

lol i don't really mind when people say it

but preggers sounds weird.

Answer 13

Yes! it's sooooo annoying and so "baby momma-ish".

Answer 14

Answer 15

Answer 16

How about a lego?

Answer 17

I've never heard an adult say that. Must be a kid thing.

Answer 18

If you are asking my opinion - it never bothered me. Even sounded kinda cute. lol

But hey, what can I say - to each their own. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. U can tell people not to call you that.

Words only have the meaning that we attach to them.  

Answer 19

I dont't like it either!!

Answer 20

personally I cant stand this stupid preggers thing... god it annoys me.

Answer 21

The next time someone calls you preggo--call them an eggo--waffle that is and inform them that is what causes it in the first place--make them fell pretty dumb, I would think.

Answer 22

it mks them snd like a 12 yr old whoz stupd

Answer 23

I alwys liked calling women Preggers, it makes them all pissy. There's nothing funnier than seeing a misshappen women with rage in her eyes.

Answer 24

Yes! I was really starting to think I was the only one who thought that.  

Answer 25

I hate preggers!  And prego is what men say when they have gobbled down too many wings and beers.

There are not very many nice names for being pregnant.  With child?  How weird.  It is like you are going for an English euphemism.  Bun in the oven - Lord do I hate that one.  I am not an appliance and my child is not a yeasty concoction.  Expecting?  Women expect a lot of stuff and are often disappointed.  Are they trying to say this will be different or more of the same.  I don't like rolling the dice with my bun.

Finally "She is getting ready to pop!"  Ugh.  Bite me, get lost and whatever you do keep your grimy paws off my belly... and no... it is not an outy yet!!!

Answer 26

Answer 30

Answer 31

Yeah, I think its such a stupid word. How hard is it just to say "Pregnant"?
