blubberThick 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.

Huge, blubbery creatures; waddling around malls and mega-markets, wearing big soft elastic sweat clothes and warm-up suits; bumping into things and getting stuck in doorways. |
