1. 1

    Pudginess is the soft, round extra that makes someone look a bit fat — cheeks, a tummy, short fingers — not the heavy kind of fat a doctor talks about. The word is informal and often a little fond or teasing, the way you might talk about a baby’s round face. You would rarely use it in a serious report. Though actually, even a “cute” word can still sting if the person did not ask to be described that way; the dictionary’s mildness is tidier than how it can feel. It names a look, not a disease.

    微胖、胖嘟嘟(軟軟圓圓的那種,不是「肥胖」)
