ruminesce 

To ruminate and/or reminesce (longingly and perhaps with no small sense of loss) as to something or someone no longer available or present as it once was.
to ruminesce; perhaps exemplified in the emotional ode to Chrissy Hynde's vanished home:

"I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?"

Rubenesque 

A term for a woman with a body similar to the women painted by the artist Peter Paul Rubens. His painting called "Judgment of Paris" is a good example. The word has nothing at all to do with Ruben Studdard as it was in use long before American Idol existed. The women of Rubens' paintings typically had hourglass figures and were chubby, but not obese.
I like rubenesque women because they have big butts.

Rubenesque 

A woman that has a similar body shape to the style of women painted by Rubens. Not just any slightly overweight woman. Not just any girl who has round hips or a bum. The women in Rubens paintings were often very plump, with large round hips. While it was once a compliment, now it often a criticism or back handed compliment.
Don't call a girl Rubenesque if you have never looked at Peter Paul Rubens paintings.
