Pot belly?

Hi.
Would you call a woman's slightly fatty belly a 'pot belly'?
I thought a pot belly means a really big belly such as beer belly.
Any comment would be much appreciated.

Yes - anybody can have a pot belly. We see distressing pictures of starving children with pot bellies. In their case they're caused by severe malnutrition - not overeating.
