GWD: Roly-Poly

You probably thought I'd finished with the gnomish hyphenated nonsense words, didn't you? Not by a longshot! This one is particularly useful because it actually describes the gnomish physique rather nicely...

ro·ly–po·ly
Pronunciation: \ˌrō-lē-ˈpō-lē\
Function: adjective
Etymology: reduplication of roly, from 2roll
Date: 1820

: being short and pudgy : rotund
