how is it abuse?
it's a word used widely across a large demographic of English speakers. This is just your misguided and misinformed snobbery showing through.

just because people use it across the globe doesn't prevent it from being abusive to the words and the ear

NO, UNLESS YOU ARE SOME KIND OF MEDICAL MARVEL OR SIMULTANEOUSLY UPDUFFED LESBIANS/TRANSGENDER MEN, YOU ARE NOT BOTH PREGNANT.
