English term or phrase: plump
The ants had largely dropped off him, probably because there was nothing left to eat on his feet. They had been completely stripped of flesh, and you could see his white bones, which were being licked clean by four or five stragglers who clearly relished their task, and come to think of it, looked a little plump, for ants.
