muffin top

an unattractive marketing mistake that occurs when a girl or woman, typically but not necessarily an overweight or obese one, wears low rise jeans that do not fit properly and push up the excess abdominal fat as a result (originally Australian, so called because it resembles a baked muffin spilling over it's paper)
