We say doughboy, yeah doughboy.
It comes from an old commercial, a television commercial in America.
There's a company called Pillsbury.
They had a character in their TV commercial called the Pillsbury Doughboy and what this character on television He was a chef CH ef and his specialty was cakes So he was he made cakes and the cakes were delicious Pillsbury cakes are delicious, and his name was dough boy D.

If you keep eating like that you're gonna be a Doughboy!
Man that guy's a Doughboy!
Doughboy has a big stomach, a very big tummy, because they've been eating too many cakes and cookies and delicious things like that.

I had a good stomach.
but now I'm older, and I've got a tummy.
I've got some fat on my stomach.

Actually, what is dough?
Dough is flour, F -L -O -U -R, and water mixed.
You can add some salt and other things too, but that's the idea, the idea of flour and water mixed.
And when you mix these together, what can you do you can make cake or you can make bread or you can make cookies?
This is the idea you need dough for cake and for Bread and stuff like that so a dough boy is a guy who eats too much cakes Too many cakes too much bread lots and lots of cookies.
