Bump for my love

I can't be bothered to actually tally such things, but it would seem that the most overused word in tabloid headlines these days is "bump," as in the abdominal bulge which may be a famous fetus or may just be evidence of a bean burrito consumed at lunch.
Paparazzi and the people who pay them are obsessed these days with images that suggest someone has a bun in the oven, particularly if it's Nicole Kidman or Jennifer Aniston. A snug dress or top may reveal a curve that puts photogs on 24/7 pregnancy patrol, while anything flowy has the caption writers practically panting about what the celeb is trying to hide.
Until paparazzi and tab editors decide to back off or to focus on other signs of pregnancy -- swollen ankles and Jimmy Choos, perhaps? -- we're forced to look at a bunch of "bumps," real or imagined.
Think I'll invest in companies that make Gas-X and body shapers with industrial-strength tummy control.
