Understanding UD Rumors in 1 easy step (Alumni version)
So apparently my husband & dogs_n_rodents were trading dead baby jokes. Somebody saw this and got the idea I was pregnant. Let me assure you this is not the case. For those who didn't go to UD, let me give you a rundown on how some people think here:
Some hypothetical examples:
sir_montag: So a dead baby walks into a bar, and -
Them: Oh, you know his wife is totally pregnant.
Me: We went out last night, but I didn't feel like having anything to drink.
Them: She must be pregnant!
Me: I like chocolate.
Them: Pregnant!
Me: I don't like chocolate.
Them: Pregnant like a mofo, y'all.
For the record I was more amused than offended, but really, people - the only appropriate time to assume / ask a woman if she's pregnant is if you can see a baby emerging from her, and at that point you no longer need to ask.
