Something that has gone pear-shaped has gone wrong: this is based on the visualisation of a plan being like a perfect circle. When something goes wrong, the plan is distorted and becomes pear-shaped.

A body shape with bigger hips with a smaller waist and chest in comparison, that is not as "universally" perfect as the hourglass. But it is still beautiful feminine shape.

But White guys hate this shape because they usually prefer boobs anyways. Actually most of them just want the bust to be big with everywhere else to be small and thin. Like the media portrays.
This Rzorbender guy has the nerve to say big hips make a girl not "hot" anymore and is against girls going through puberty because he is a closet pedo. Womanly hips are always hot. But people like him are brainwashed to like anorexic body types with no hips. A pear shape is better than a rectangular shape.

An apple shape with a big waist is unattractive. But a pear shape is attractive because it still has womanly hips.

very wrong, unrescuable.
'Pear-shaped' is an RAF euphemism for 'tits-up', which is itself a euphemism for 'dead'.
The Oxford dictionary definition cites an RAF source in 1983. I was an RAF pilot in 1983. The reason no-one will confirm the meaning officially is that it's rude, hence the rubbish about aerobatics. Loops that go wrong are egg-shaped, and have always been referred to as such.
