harnglefng (泛奶)

When a nursing infant grows well with lots of fat rolls, one does not call the infant the common words for "fat" such as puii`ee or toaxkhof`ee. Taiwanese has this special word harnglefng for "baby fat." If you say that about a baby, the mother will be very delighted to receive the complement.
