Pronunciation: blōtkōt

Sentence: While others are wearing heavy parkas and what they call puffy jackets Tim is wearing a thin windbreaker. This is because he is wearing a bloatcoat.

His only regret is that he has not been able to find a ready source of muktuk.

Etymology: bloat (become swollen with fluid or gas) + coat (an outer garment worn outdoors, having sleeves and typically extending below the hips)

Oh no, he thought...she may just crawl into a den and wake up in spring with twins!
