fat from the abdomen of a pig that is rendered and clarified for use in cooking

excess fat in a person

I've got to give up fags and shift some lard

he's just a tub of lard

insert strips of fat or bacon in (meat) before cooking

he larded the joint with garlic and anchovies

embellish (talk or writing) with an excessive number of esoteric or technical expressions

his conversation is larded with quotations from Coleridge
