flab
Unwanted body softness
Flab is excess soft flesh on the body—fat that jiggles.
The word carries mild disapproval, suggesting flesh that shouldn't be there: I need to lose this flab around my middle.
Figuratively, flab can mean unnecessary bulk in writing or organizations: The editor trimmed the flab from the manuscript.
