Wackelpudding (n.) 


The wobbly flabby substance that is accumulated around the midriff or other regions of the body as a result of eating too much saturated fat and/or exercising too little. 

Wackelpudding has an amazing ability to conserve momentum, causing any large large belly to reverberate almost indefinitely when struck. This may ultimately causing the person to revolve around their own axis and fall over, unless of course they have already fallen over, in which case they may either stand up, roll over or become very confused because they no longer know whether they should be lying down, standing up, or what the hell is going on.

Wackelpuddings generally come in three sizes: (i) mini, which is generally considered cute on a woman, but cause for concern on a man, (ii) maxi, which gives rise to a ‘beer flap’ or ‘flab handles’, and (iii) ‘gihuge’, which is the kind of stomach that reaches to someone's knees when they sit in front of you on the train.

Various recipes for making your own wackelpudding using ingredients that are commonly available around the home may be found here.
