Beer flap (n.) 


The unsightly mound of flab that overhangs the waistband of a man's trousers, often as a result of previous excessive consumption of beer, takeaway food and/or large quantities of crisps and snacks. Beer flaps are a congenital condition that typically sets in at around the age of 30, by which time the man has either forgone any concerted attempt at healthy living or rationalised that if he isn't thin already, it's too late to start trying now. 

Known remedies for beer flaps include (a) go on a diet, (b) get some exercise, (c) wear elasticated trousers, or (d) drink even more in the hope you will become so hopelessly overweight that people will assume you have a glandular deficiency.

See ‘abdomen envy’ and ‘wackelpudding’.
