Who coined that silly phrase of ‘falling’ pregnant?
I never use it. (Shouldn’t it be ‘getting’?)
“Our Shazza fell...” No, that’s not how it happened!
Your daughter didn’t
trip; it’s heavy petting
and being on her back that did the business.
You fall on hard times; old folk often fall
(or, rather, ‘have’ one). Men fall off a ladder,
but
falling pregnant? That’s not right at all.
I
do apologise for my insistence;
we must correct such ignorance. It’s ‘got’
or ‘getting’. No-one’s ‘fallen up the duff’ yet,
so ‘falling’ pregnant? Absolutely NOT.
(I sent my recent TDE 'lemon' poem too, on the off-chance.
