tumid
Bloated and distended
Tumid describes something swollen or distended, often used of body parts: a tumid ankle, tumid glands.
The word extends to language or style that is inflated and pompous—prose that bulges with self-importance: His tumid rhetoric impressed no one.
Literary and somewhat old-fashioned in both senses.
