Beblubbered

/bɪˈblʌbəd/ adjective

Definition

Covered with blubber; wet and swollen from excessive crying; having blubbered.

Etymology

Past participle of 'beblubber' used as an adjective. The doubling of the 'b' in blubber plus 'be-' prefix creates an emphatic, unpleasant sound.

Kelly Says

The sound of 'beblubbered' actually mimics what it describes—that repetitive 'b' sound makes your mouth do that blubbery motion. It's onomatopoeia disguised as a regular word.
