After seeing a recent pregnant photo of yours truly, a friend of mine declared that I was:
As Full as a Goog.
Slightly taken aback I asked her what language she was speaking.
Australian as it turns out:
Phrase: full as a goog - (Australian, simile, colloquial): having eaten too much, or being drunk
Given that was several weeks ago, I wonder what she would make of me now? Coming up to forty weeks pregnant I have surely transcended full googness and now reside in the State of Bureaugrade.
As in Violet Bureaugarde.
You know - the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who blew up into a big, purple blimp!
In the likely event that I go past my due date, I wonder what I will resemble past forty weeks?
Nah. Too happy. I will not be skipping anywhere at forty one weeks.
Yep. That's more like it.
