Bulgeate

Bulgeate: verb. This word has two possible and widely different meanings:
1. The first is the more common one, but not the original one: to grow a bulge or become bulging in either a literal or figurative sense.
2. The second is far less used but the word was invented with this meaning: to suddenly turn Bulgarian without any former warning. This phenomenon used to be quite common in the previous century and scientists have never quite understood it - perhaps because all those studying it either disappeared or Bulgeated themselves.
