Informal slang meaning to gain weight or become noticeably chubbier, often used in a self-deprecating or lighthearted way. To chub up is to fill out — whether from comfort eating, a sedentary period, or just getting older. The phrase lacks serious malice and is more often used in a resigned or jokey tone than as a genuine insult, particularly when people reflect on changes to their own body.
