/Sounds like "teem" (as in "tea") + "BOHN" (as in "boat")/

Meaning

In Mexican popular speech, someone with a big, round belly. Estar timbón means sporting a noticeable gut, whether from being overweight, overeating, or too many beers.

Examples

He was so timbón after the Christmas feast.

The baby is all timboncito from so much milk, how cute.

Regional synonyms

To be furious, livid, completely over the edge with anger. In Argentina and Uruguay it means pure rage. Important note: in other Spanish-speaking countries the same phrase can mean sexually aroused, so context is everything when using this one outside the Southern Cone.
