Zaftig /ˈzäftig/
(of a woman) having a full, rounded figure
My dad would have said “chunky fine” which was his highest compliment.
I didn’t know this word was Yiddish, and I don’t know how I know it, but this word is lovely. Juicy. Tantalizing. Sexy.
It rolls off the tongue like a savory sweet piece of fudge.
It gives an image of a curvaceous woman leaning seductively against a piano, long skirt with a slit up to the knee and a knowing look in her eye. She doesn't give a F%*k what you think about her size, because she knows what she is worth.
It's such a great word.
