Getting an upset tummy is never pleasant, and it's worse if you get a funny tummy a long way from home.

Vera Lynn

Benjamin Franklin

A very good drink they call Chaube that is almost as black as ink and very good in illness, especially of the stomach. This they drink in the morning early in the open places before everybody, without any fear or regard, out of clay or China cups, as hot as they can, sipping it a little at a time.

Leonhard Rauwolf

Rebecca Solnit

'Good Morning America' exploited Joan Lunden's pregnancy, but you won't see me bringing my babies on the air. The only reason I'm talking about the babies at all is that they've been with me on the show since I became pregnant. After a while, I had to acknowledge this pumpkin tummy.

Jane Pauley

That is raw dough. Never eat raw dough. They can make worms in your tummy. Worms in your tummy.

There is no good word for stomach; just as there is no good word for girlfriend. Stomach is to girlfriend as belly is to lover, and as abdomen is to consort, and as middle is to petite amie.
