mpreg
n.— «I don’t know when or where I first heard of something called “mpreg,” although I know it was online. I didn’t know what it was, and oh, how I long for those innocent days of yesteryear. “What do you mean?” I bleated to the friend who explained it was fan fiction written about male pregnancy. She patted my hand. “It’s stories about men from television shows, books, and movies who get pregnant.” She looked at me, as if wondering whether to go on. “They have the babies out of their butts.” (She didn’t actually say “butt.”)» —“Mpreg: Sometimes the internet scares me” by Christie Keith AfterElton.com July 27, 2007.
