I become pregnant witrhout conceiving,
I become fat without eating,
everybody knows me without a meeting,
I play a very important meaning,
What am I?

No, I was not. And I refuse to believe no one gets this clue. I will not hint at it any further.  Someone out there gets it, especially now that the answer has been openly discussed.

One not involving Winnie the Pooh. And not much Disney in fact.
There's always google though..
| hidden: |
A Little Black Rain Cloud (Winnie The Pooh)
I'm just a little black rain cloud
Hovering under the honey tree
I'm only a little black rain cloud
Pay no attention to little me
Everyone knows that a rain cloud
Never eats honey, no, not a nip
I'm just floating around over the ground
Wondering where I will drip

Never ever hint at flamingdragon's riddles in the future. He goes by the book to the bottom of his heart and will not or cannot appreciate any answer other than that including spelling or grammar!

I vaguely recall a cloud in Winnie the Pooh, but not enough to make the connection. Thanks for the reference clarification towr.
