Not exactly my favourite sight, either. Never heard that expression before, but it's an apt one.

Muffin top (or muffin top girl) is a generally pejorative, slang term used for a person, usually female, whose flabby midsection spills over the waistline of his or her pants in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its casing. This generally occurs when an individual wears low-rise or hip-hugger pants and midriff-baring tops.
In an attempt to avoid this and to comply with the gradual shift away from low-rise jeans, manufacturers have introduced mid-rise jeans which come up higher on the waist and eliminate the "muffin top". Mid-rise jeans have proved popular across North America and manufacturers have also introduced new styles of high-rise jeans.[1] However, the muffin top isn't exclusive to low-rise jeans. Any jeans that are too tight can be attributed to the muffin top. In addition, low rise jeans of the right size usually will not create a muffin top.
Muffin top originated as Australian slang in mid-2003,[2] but has since become popular in other English-speaking countries. It may have been first popularized by the Australian television show Kath & Kim. Australia's Macquarie Dictionary named "muffin top" the word of the year in 2006;[3] the American Dialect Society named it one of the "most creative" new terms that same year.[4] Muffin top was earlier used in a different sense (the best part of the muffin) on an episode of the American television show Seinfeld.
The character of Jenna Maroney from the sitcom 30 Rock has a hit dance song called "Muffin Top".
