Up the duff

[wishwishwash]

My Dad when referring to pregnant women says they are ‘up the duff’ or ‘up the spout’.

Anyone knows anyone else parents say this? I don’t hear anyone else in my life talk like that.

It's slang. I've heard up the duff loads, not heard up the spout

Up the duff, in the pudding club , bun in the oven 😋

Knocked up. Heard them all.

Yep pretty standard slang terms, not pejorative I dont think, nothing to worry about.

Yes, of course. Said up the duff about myself. My husband liked the term "with child" after watching vikings.

Yes heard that and others. Dislike the term, personally. Especially 'she's about to drop'...God I hate that expression.

Bun in the oven.

It's a pretty common term - loads of people of all ages use it, don't they?

I say up the duff all the time 😄

It's not a term I would use but I prefer Bun in the Oven or simply pregnant.
Heard it many times and maybe people should be free to use what term they want unless totally pejorative?

Yes heard this and several alternatives. Generally heard it said in context to a teen or single parent. Don’t hear many mid 30’s MC mums being called “up the duff” and in that sense I think it’s derogatory. Probably generational.

My first ever MN post was a pregnancy test for line eyes, looking back it was clear as day (I was ten weeks) but I was a bit in shock. First response was a long standing poster telling me I was definitely "royally up duffed" , I didn't think it was insulting.

My neighbour came to the door the other day and said 'I hear you're up the duff again??'. Said with humorous intent and taken the way intended 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Standard words tbh.

Bit of an old fashioned phrase these days! I hate the 'we are pregnant' announcement from the father though- no you are not! your wife/partner is

In the family way
