[Content Note: Misogyny; body policing; culture of judgment.]
If I never heard the phrase "side boob" ever again, that would be okay.
I would also be very okay with never reading "bump watch," and especially the related "baby bump or brunch bump," ever again. Ever.
I wouldn't miss "bikini body," either. Or "beach body."
Or "post-baby body." At least in the context of: "Look at Cis Female Celebrity's banging' post-baby body!" or "Look at Cis Female Celebrity's shitty post-baby body!"
And "nip slip" is one of THE WORST. It can fuck off forever.
I pretty much hate every cutesy phrase used to publicly audit women's bodies, is what I'm saying.
