Pubes

The act of skiving off work and pretending to be sick, but instead of showing up in a doctor's office, you pretend to be pregnant and demand time off while wearing a baby bump t-shirt. Classic public display of maternity without the actual baby.

Examples:

• " Jane couldn't stop screaming 'I'm preggers!' at her boss, confidently flashing her baby bump t-shirt as she skipped out on her shift "
• " The office was shook when Mark announced he was taking maternity leave for the third month straight, while still wearing baby bump gear "
• " Sarah's coworkers laughed when she tried to sneak out with the company brochure claiming she got 'preggers on the job' "
