Bulgy

/ˈbʌldʒi/ adjective

Definition

Inclined to bulge; swollen, protruding, or having bulges.

Etymology

From bulge + -y (adjective-forming suffix). The -y suffix comes from Old English and converts nouns into adjectives describing quality or tendency.

Kelly Says

Bulgy is wonderfully informal—it's what you'd say about a frog's eyes or a overpacked backpack, capturing that quality of things that can't stay contained!
