Is fat not a word we are allowed to use anymore. It describes someone who is overweight and she is overweight so she is fat, end of discussion. What is the problem. We wont be able to say Bello is ugly, we will have to say his face isn't ergonomically perfect, no, he is an ugly git, end of.

Of course you're allowed to say it. Just like how I'm allowed to think it's shallow and unnecessary.

sampvt considering someone ugly does not make it true.........others

may find him handsome/beautiful

similar could be said for being fat.......to an anorexic i'm fat

............there are far better/more specific descriptions than fat

If we weighed her on a height for weight chart, she should be 11 foot 9 inches so really, she is just too short.....Is that better.

an interesting question............if the bmi of mark and chloe was compared

But she isn't overweight.

Still, she's allowed to be upset by fat jokes.

It shouldn't matter what the joke is. if somebody makes a joke, or indeed, comments seriously, on somebody's physical appearance and you don't react with sympathy to the victim or a little angst towards the Attacker, it probably says more about you than everybody else involved.

he doesn't comment serious..he pokes fun....I'm as fit as a bag of crisps and as strong as a jelly baby and i thought it was hilarious. I've always poked fun with friends and they always poke fun with me and i wouldn't be the least bit bother by the joke said in a good humored way ...He is a nice guy and you making him out to be horrible

Victim and attacker..you cheapen the words when you portray it like that and it should offend anyone who had truly abused verbally or otherwise

Maybe that's the difference.. They're not friends and he isn't a nice person.. Jokes that make others upset are not okay.. Obviously.. And to repeat the jokes that weren't okay the first time round is proof to me that he isn't a nice person.

Problem is she is fat. She's certainly not slim is she. If you're overweight then get over it and do something about losing some weight. I used to weigh 16 stone but am now down to 11 1/2 stone. It takes hard work and a good diet. No reason to look porky my love.

What a terrible attitude to have especially from someone who was over weight too. I'm sure "fat" people are well aware they're fat, they don't need people trying to make them feel s**t by mocking them over it. I don't understand why people want to condone nastiness all of a sudden by excusing it as honesty.

Sorry but I worked very hard at the gym for several years to maintain my body weight and physique. I came second in a bodybuilding contest last year at the age of 60!!! At the gym I go to there are fat people who joined the same time I did and several years later they're still fat!? They need to be told quite bluntly they're fat and to do something about it like exercise and diet. I no longer believe in pussy footing around with PC language with fatties. They won't change until they are given a real jolt to change their lives around.

Do you think that people who are overweight wouldn't realise that they're fat if you didn't tell them then?

They know they're fat but choose to carry on munching and slouching about. I was woken up to the fact I was morbidly obese (fat) when I had some heart and blood pressure problems. It was a wake up call and I did something about it changing my life around totally.

Im 27 and have lost over 3 stone since near beginning of the year but i would never put someone down on there weight we know nothing about their situation

[rubymoo]

IMO the word fat is a negative descriptive word, surely we shouldn't be insulting others looks/weight, i thought name calling was left in the playground
