Rutabaga

/ROO-ta-bay-ga/  n.
  1. 1. A bulbous root vegetable prized for its substantial undercarriage and earthy flavor, reliably found in the produce aisle carrying more girth than the bin was designed for.
  2. 2. colloq. A field-grown unit of shameless curvature, turning heads at the farmer's market with its full-bodied silhouette.
In a sentence:

"He toted a thiccc rutabaga from the farmers' market, its rear end demanding a separate basket. The cabbage family never saw it coming."

Etymology:

From Swedish rotabagge, meaning 'root bag'. It truly embraces the bag part of its name.

From the desk

Filed by

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

The etymology is literally 'root bag' and it delivers on that promise structurally.

Ruling PROVISIONAL

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

Bulbous undercarriage confirmed. The rear profile exceeds the anterior by a documented margin and the basket situation is not hyperbole. Admitted pending girth.
