The spurt in the pregnancy announcements during the pandemic- from pop star Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya, Australian personality Bindi Irwin, Gigi Hadid and Ed Sheeren and many more have led to the coining of a new term, ‘Coronials’.

Funny as that sounds, according to internet lingo, just like millennials and gen-z, coronial is the term assigned to the generation conceived or welcomed in the world during the times of enforced quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the pun being generated from the unfortunate crisis looming on our heads( with ‘Coro’ having roots in the word coronavirus).
