Pluffy is a Scots dialect adjective meaning puffy, swollen, or blown out — typically describing something inflated with air or a face swollen from illness, a blow, or retained fluid. The word has a slightly comic quality; the '-uffy' sound mimics the soft, round quality it describes. Found in Scots dialect literature and local speech in parts of Scotland. The register is informal and vivid; describing something as pluffy conjures a specific image of soft, unnatural fullness.
His face was all pluffy the morning after the dental procedure, like a chipmunk storing nuts.
