Meanings

  1. Characterised or marked by bellowing
    • There is a great, bellowsome balloon the size of the moon inside of me sticking just beneath my thin skin like the shrapnel shards from shattered spirits, internally combusting in crash course collisions of constant catastrophes of consonance and consequence. 2014, Devin Dion, Sunsets in Cigarette Burns:
