Tips

register
A polite, even complimentary alternative to 胖 (pàng, 'fat'). 丰腴 evokes the Tang-dynasty ideal of feminine beauty embodied by 杨贵妃 - voluptuous rather than slim. For modern usage, prefer 丰腴 over 胖 when describing a woman in a positive light; for fertile land or rich prose it's purely literary.
memory
丰 (fēng) 'abundant' + 腴 (yú) 'plump, fatty meat' (the 月-radical = flesh). Combine 'abundant' with 'fleshy' and you get the literary sense of pleasingly full.
