Sometimes the word comparison between the English meaning and the American can be quite comical!
Today I have just learnt a new word...muffin top!
Although this may conjure up a picture of a fluffy fairy cake that has currants in...guess again my friends!
This is the American word for a tummy that overhangs your bikini knickers! Yuck!
To make it worse ....
To my surprise I saw an advert for an "Eggo's new muffin tops breakfast."
God forbid the mind boggles!
I guess this is what you get ofyou eat the Eggo's muffin tops for breakfast???

Wouldn't you think that advertising anything as "muffin tops" means it'll make you fat? I can't believe they didn't think of that.
I'm a Dad of three in faraway Australia - and when I first heard my kids use this expression it caught my attention immediately!
Fab minds think alike, I heard the ad, and SAID "muffin tops MAKE muffin tops!"
