Word of the Day

fubsy

[fuhb-zee]

adjective:

short and stout

Explanation

If something is fubsy, it's short and stocky, but the word has a warm, affectionate quality that makes it feel more endearing than critical. Think of Shetland ponies and overstuffed armchairs. Could a teapot be fubsy? If it's short and stout, then sure!

Example: The fubsy little bulldog waddled through the park on its short, thick legs.
