'pregnant avoiding' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'almost all hard stuff' is the wordplay.
'almost all' becomes 'inf' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'hard' becomes 'irony' (I've seen this before).
