- This is a modern slang that arises from a simple clipping of the word "pregnant" but also represents an interesting case in which an adjective is given a plural ending. The reason for this plurality is unclear, but it might have been used in a satirical sense to refer to a person who is known to have gone through pregnancy numerous times.
