Swollen with fat; SYN. blubbery.

An insulating layer of fat under the skin of whales and other large marine mammals; used as a source of oil.
Thick layer of fat under the skin of marine mammals, which provides an energy store and an effective insulating layer, preventing the loss of body heat to the surrounding water. Blubber has been used (when boiled down) in engineering, food processing, cosmetics, and printing, but all of these products can now be produced synthetically.
