What does the word podge mean?

"Podge" is a word that means "to move or go in a clumsy, heavy-footed way," often with the implication of being overweight or out of shape. It can also be used as a noun meaning "a heavy, clumsy person."

Here are some examples:

* Verb: "He podged along the sidewalk, struggling to keep up with the younger kids."

* Noun: "The old podge was always complaining about the state of the world."

However, "podge" is not a very common word in modern English. It's often considered somewhat archaic or even derogatory. You might hear it used in a playful or ironic way, but it's best to avoid using it in formal contexts.

If you want to convey the idea of someone moving clumsily, there are many other options, like "lumber," "trudge," or "waddle."
