porked up
Put on pounds
Porked up means fattened or having gained weight, from the association of pigs with plumpness and overeating.
It can describe someone who has put on pounds: He really porked up over the holidays.
The phrase carries a mildly crude or humorous tone, suggesting indulgence rather than gradual weight gain.
