/Sounds like "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "TOHN" (as in "toll")/

Meaning

A person with a big belly or a chubby physique. In Chile and Argentina, guatón comes from 'guata' (belly) and is often used affectionately as a nickname rather than a harsh insult, though tone always matters.

Examples

El guatón de mi jefe siempre llega comiendo algo.

My chubby boss always shows up eating something.

Hey, big belly, come eat!
