Listed as a hotword from June 2020. I can't find it in ProQuest at all, nor on web pages added after June 2021. (Maybe someone can find it before 3 January 2020?) It strikes me as SoP anyway, as collocations such as winter belly (weight gained during wintertime) or pizza belly (belly fat attributed to eating too much pizza) are not uncommon.

- "Maybe someone can find it before 3 January 2020?" Extremely unlikely, given that on 3 January 2020 there were only 44 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the world, all of which were in Wuhan. The first confirmed case in the US wasn't until 20 January, and the first lockdown (of Wuhan) wasn't until 23 January. If this is to meet CFI, I think it's more promising to look for recent uses instead of old ones. 70.172.194.25 20:11, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks to Einstein2 for citations, including some (The Sun, the Daily Mail) that I presume are durably archived. I'd call this cited. Cnilep (talk) 02:55, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- I agree. Cited. There are a few other possible citations that could be included that might be considered durable too, especially this one[1]. Anyone looking for cites will have to studiously avoid mentions of the piece of ‘music’ by the deservedly obscure band ‘Victim’s Family’ though. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 09:40, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
