I agree with Judith Schrier about the definition of "zoftig" (or
"zaftig," if you like).  The connotation of "zoftig" is a matronly
plumpness, rather than any well-endowed shapeliness.  The image is that
of a beefy-but-not-obese 55 year old woman (though the age has nothing
particularly to do with it.
