1: plumpness of person; stoutness
Her embonpoint, so massive that she turned sideways to walk through the door, failed to bother her as it did her husband. Ray, himself so stout that he sat on the toilet seat to urinate because he could no longer reach his genitals by hand, glowered at her from across the room. She cast him a vagrant smile then wafted -- well, lumbered actually -- over to the couch. Steering herself around like a huge double decker bus, she lined up her massive behind with the cushions and lowered herself down. Partway there her knees gave out and down she went like an out of control truck. Her buttocks collided with a meaty thunk that punished the couch cushions and tortured the springs. Wheezing out a breath, she settled herself comfortably, deliberately ignorant of Ray's condescending stare.
"Two can play this game, dear," she said. "Remember who started it."
His grumbled response made her laugh.

Again, wow! What imagery! Your writing is totally consuming. I can see and hear and even smell this obese couple... love the detail with the man having to sit down to piss and the woman 'lining herself up' to sit on the couch. What a great paragraph for such a simple act! I'll sure as heck never forget what embonpoint means! :)
A proper blog. Ideas and thoughts whizz about like live things.
