It doesn’t say it in the Wik, but “pear-shaped” is used regularly, without quotes, to describe a body type common among Type II diabetics–being fat around waist, hips, and butt. (Although I now see an opposing position.)
In a recent thread on diabetes one of GQ’s good doctors described how the fat in those areas is physiologically different than other fat hanging around your body.
They would have had to call it “N-Night.”
