stubby
Truncated and wide
Stubby describes something short and thick, often with a blunt end: stubby fingers, stubby legs, a stubby pencil.
The word suggests compactness without elegance—functional but squat.
A stubby is also Australian slang for a short, squat beer bottle: He grabbed a stubby from the cooler.
