Terms Referring to Inflation

I'm gonna make a list of words commonly used to refer to Inflation and the categories of inflation they, to me, refer to.

Inflation: The generic term which can be used for any kind of Inflation. However, it is commonly used as the expansion of anything with air or external gasses.

Bloating: Expansion of the belly due to a drink or a food that has been consumed causing air to blow up the belly.

Filling up/Swelling: Expansion of anything (commonly the belly or breasts) by drinking liquid. However, liquid does not need to be consumed to be considered swelling. It could also be forced in with a hose, pump, or something else; as long as the inflation is caused by massive quantities of liquid. Blueberry Inflation would fall into this category as a result.

Stuffing: Expansion of fat caused by mass eating.

Expanding: Any other kind of inflation, as well as the above.

Or just ignore me, that's fine.

How about...

Popping: Reaching beyond maximum capacity and exploding when filled with air or gas.

Bursting: Reaching beyond maximum capacity and exploding when filled with liquid or food.

It's a great idea to have our own wiki where only inflation fans will edit definitions. It's a big maintenance feat for years so applauds to you! ^_^
