balloony
Like air-filled rubber
Balloony describes something resembling or suggestive of a balloon—puffy, inflated, or rounded in shape.
Clothing might billow in a balloony way; a face might look balloony when swollen.
The word carries a playful, informal tone: Her balloony sleeves kept catching on doorknobs.
It can also suggest something insubstantial or overinflated: balloony rhetoric.
