because of how the urban dictionary defines it?

You hate the term because you don't like what urban dictionary says it means?

I don't get it.  I don't think of it as an urban word--if anything it sounds 'hickish'--but nonetheless...I like it   Although I prefer knocked up.

I don't like it because it's bad English and it's derogatory to pregnant women and women in general.

Hippy:

it's derogatory to pregnant women and women in general.

according to the urban dictionary.

it sounds just as stupid as prego.  it's as if people can't say "pregnant" or something.  because it verifies you had sex?  what?  i don't get it.

I hate Urban Dictionary!

It's full of a bunch of ignorant sh!t that gullible, sheltered suburbanites use to poke fun at poor, uneducated 'urban' people.

I'm not calling you a gullible, sheltered suburbanite. Unless you are one.

I don't like the term either.  To me, it means trashy pregnant woman.  How hard is it to say pregnant?

Me...well we knew that. LOL  I still don't like the word and it bugs me when people use it.  Maybe I was brainwashed by BOTB.

BOTB doesn't like the word pregnant either. I remember them freaking out at some poor chick who announced their pregnancy.

Anyone who starts an "I'm pregnant!" post was immediately flamed. They decided the best way to announce your pregnancy was not at all, ever.

BOTB is generally full of people who believe what is written in urban dictionary.

I dislike the general cutification of pregnancy.  So preggers, preggie, prego, and the like all vaguely irritate me for the same reason that the sentence, "OMG I have a supercute baby belly but what's going on with my va-jay-jay" vaguely irritates me.

I'm lost b/c I've never even heard of an urban dictionary, oh well. The term "preggers" does not offend me, carry on.

one thing I can tell you is urban dictionary isn't really the best source for any slang term. i'm not even sure by which auspices they consider themselves "urban."

The word annoys me too. Plus, it's not like it is any easier to say. They both have 8 lettes and two syllables. I dislike prego too.

I like #3. I think it was written by a 4 year old (no offense to Ry).
