EN: tadpole; pufferfish
As a tadpole, it's the baby version of a frog, 'yung parang sperm cell na may mata na lumalangoy sa kanal. As a pufferfish, it's that cute-but-deadly fish that inflates itself when it feels threatened—parang ikaw 'pag may nag-comment sa weight mo. It's also used to describe someone with a big, round belly.
The meaning (tadpole or pufferfish) is usually clear from the context. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a pot-bellied person.
