Paunch
Noun: A large protruding belly.
Example: “Like many men past middle age I have developed a paunch.”
Pronunciation: From the web page click here and then click the microphone icon.
The photo is of a Caracara bird taken during our recent successful dive trip to Curacao. More on that later. I suspect this is the crested variety.
