bloated
Overfilled with gas
Bloated describes something swollen or puffed up beyond its normal size, often unpleasantly so.
A body becomes bloated from gas, fluid retention, or decomposition.
The word extends to anything excessive or inflated: bloated government spending, bloated software packed with features nobody uses.
After overeating, you might feel bloated—uncomfortably full and distended.
