A British and Irish informal adjective meaning bulky, thick, or solid — describing something that has a chunky, substantial physical presence. A wodgy sandwich is thick and generously filled; a wodgy piece of furniture is heavy and takes up space. The word has an affectionate quality; wodgy is usually used about things that are comfortably solid rather than unpleasantly large.

She cut herself a wodgy slice of bread and loaded it with butter and cheese.
Origin: From 'wodge' (a thick chunk, a lump) + '-y' adjectival suffix. 'Wodge' is probably from 'wedge,' altered by analogy with similar words. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
