porky

Carrying extra weight

Porky means resembling or suggestive of a pig—usually describing someone as fat or pudgy: He's gotten a bit porky since he stopped exercising.

The word is mildly insulting but often used self-deprecatingly or affectionately.

In British rhyming slang, porkies (from "porky pies") means lies: He's been telling porkies again.
