Puffy

Puffy; /ˈpʌfi/
adjective

1. Describes a person who looks or acts soft, swollen, or emotionally inflated — often visibly flustered, sensitive, or on the brink of an overreaction. A classic pre-Karen state where someone isn’t fully causing a scene yet, but the energy is building.

2. Can also imply someone is physically puffy — e.g., tired eyes, bloated face — usually from stress, crying, or general life struggles.

Not inherently insulting, but context and tone matter. Saying someone’s puffy can be affectionate, observational, or a subtle warning that they’re spiralling.
“You okay? You’re lookin’ kinda puffy today.”
(Genuine concern with a sprinkle of judgement.)

“Chill, girl — you’re getting puffy. Don’t go full Karen on them.”
(Warning issued.)

“She’s been all puffy ever since they messed up her coffee order.”
(Pre-Karen behaviour detected.)
