poofy
Full and puffy
Poofy describes something puffy, fluffy, or voluminous—especially hair or fabric that stands out from the body: Her poofy sleeves kept catching on doorknobs, a poofy wedding dress.
The word suggests soft, air-filled fullness, often with a slightly cartoonish or excessive quality.
In British slang, poofy (also spelled pouffy) is a derogatory term for effeminate or gay, related to poof.
