Haha! That's funny Mr. Josheroony! I guess girls have ONE thing over guys. We get doors ALL the time. And conversation is frequently acceptable. Especially since you may have to ask someone to pass toilet paper under the wall.
Metaphor. Some pauses resemble literal pregnancies in that they are filled with meaning, as a pregnant body is filled with the offspring to be born; and they are forward-looking--that is, they have the listener waiting for the next utterance--in something of the same way that a pregnancy portends the forthcoming birth. The Oxford English Dictionary gives examples of the word "pregnant" used with the sense of "full of meaning" beginning in the 15th century.
An addendum without which my explanation above is misleading: Historically, the literal and metaphorical meanings of "pregnant" have traded places. Although modern dictionaries give the biological sense first, the word meant "full of significance" (and some other things) before it meant "with child." Source: OED.
