How it's used
This term specifically describes a soft, sagging, or flabby belly, often implying a lack of muscle tone. It is frequently used in a self-deprecating or teasing manner among friends. While it can refer to a person's stomach, it is also commonly used to describe fatty cuts of meat, particularly pork belly.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the standard term 肚腩, which is a neutral word for belly. Using 婄腩 implies a more visceral, unflattering description of flabbiness, so it can sound quite rude if used to describe someone you do not know well.
