Obese?
Since when did the word 'obese' became all hip and trendy, I've been hearing it everywhere these days on tellyvision and other places. Whatever happened to being a fat mother****er?
I mean, when you're walking in the street and see some 120 kg guy walking about do you think 'oh what an obese man' or 'jesus christ, what a lard ass'. Just because fat people don't want to be called fat doesn't mean they are obese, why should we encourage them in their unhealthy fatness by using an eufemism to describe their condition?
I mean, obese is a word oprah would have a talkshow about, should that not be enough to never ever use that word, ever?

I've always thought that obese was far more insulting than 'fat'.

For "grossly overweight people," not "regular overweight people".
:. Obese is an overused word.

Surely that would depend on who said it.

Perhaps I should alter my signature so that it becomes more insulting.
Nah.

My body mass index is 21.6.
Also according to it 66% of the population in my age range in America is more obese than me.

My BMI is 25.
Which makes me considerably larger than any of you.
But not obese!
