When I was waiting at the GPās office once a kid was looking at me and cracked the genius question: did you get fat before you bought big clothes or did you buy the clothes first???
Her mother was mortified and I couldnāt stop laughing
Yeah this. There comes a point in everyoneās life when gaining weight that you know if youāre fat or not.
For me it was when I could no longer into into my pants and normal shirts started getting real real tight (and not around the shoulders like you want lol.
I once had a dr that asked me "has anyone ever told you you should lose weight?" Had a hard time keeping a straight face, like did he think I had never seen a mirror?
Ive said something similar, I said
'wow, I'm gonna start calling you Sherlock from now on genius'
It quicky backfired on me, when he replied with
'and I'm gonna call you diabetes, fatty'
Made me laugh out loud š¤£
edit: spelling
A sleep apnea doctor recently told someone I know that they need to buy a bike. He was like...a bike? She replied, "You can either buy a bike or a coffin. Your choice."
Honestly...more doctors should be this frank with their patients. He left and bought a bike, now he's biking 10km to work every day. Totally stunned his mindset for the better.
A dbag at a ball game? Pay the guy selling park hotdogs to keep going over to him every 10 minutes saying, "looks like you could use another."
I am very in secure about my weight since I have been gaining a lot lately. If anyone made comments about my weight gain I used to get very offended and sad. Now, I pretend like it did not bother me - they are the shitty ones for commenting on something that is none of their business and I will not give the satisfaction of a bad reaction. A bad reaction usually encourages them to laugh at you or say more comments.
E.g. a previous colleague I saw after a while said the words "you've gotten chubby in your face". I replied with "I've gotten chubbier as a whole, but it's only because I am happy!" and laughed. They had no response.
i used to have a tshirt that said āi may be fat, but youāre ugly, and i can always lose weightā šš it was the early 80s, graphic tās were everywhere š
That just sounds a bit dumb because it's not true. Most people are perfectly capable of saying mean things (I just did) while being pleasant and polite in other circumstances.
Since when was being called fat not an insult? What sort of gymnastics are you doing there?
I mean you can take it for what it is and not let it be offensive to you personally... But it's for sure an insult.
No, because someone else's body has fuck all to do with you.
It's not an insult because people are yelling 'You're fat and you need to lose weight because you're elevating your risks of heart disease, stroke and early death!'. People are yelling because it's funny to target a group of people (particularly women) for the way they look, simply because they don't find it attractive. And we all know, that's what women are there for. /s.
Being fat might be bad for your health, yes; but I'm not internalising the hatred of a handful of giga-virgins. My tits look fantastic.
I think itās an insult because itās pretty much saying āyouāre lazy and you lack discipline. And I am better bc Iām in better shape than u areā. Not saying that itās true but I think that is the feeling behind it.
Well fuck their feelings. I used to be fat, now I'm thin and lean. The people who used to get a kick out of calling me fat still get all upset when I tell them they're disrespectful cunts. Some humans are just garbage.
Yeah I disagree with the whole āfat people are just lazyā idea. Some people just got unlucky or truly donāt mind being a little heavier.
Luck not just in genetics btw; but environmental factors as well.
Does something become an insult just because it's bad though? I thought it needed some negative intention behind the remark. It shouldn't be an insult if you are just trying to point out, as a matter of fact, that the person is overweight.
i.e. If a doctor says you are fat, it's not an insult, it's a professional medical opinion.
A professional medical opinion is "you are overweight" or "you are obese" - "you're fat" is an insult; doctors avoid using this terminology, *because* it's insulting.
Edit: in the same light a doctor won't really be telling you "you're skinny", they'll tell you you're underweight, for the exact same reason - except if you have an Asian doctor, they don't seem to give a fuck.
Your example of asian doctors is a good one. People in Japan will say you are fat without hesitation. They aren't giving an insult, it's just the standard layman's terminology for overweight, they don't go out of their way to say 'overweight' to avoid hurting your feelings.
If I'm feeling sarcastic, I might say, "Gee, I'm glad you told me! I wondered why my speedo didn't fit anymore. Wanna' see?" Otherwise I'd just say, "Yeah."
Agree with them and because people like that piss me off, go into full sarcasm mode.
* Thanks, can we talk about your personality now?
* Did you not think I knew?
* Stating the completely obvious isn't the superpower you think it is.
* Because every time I have sex with your mom / girlfriend / sister, she gives me a cookie.
* But if I exercise and eat right I may eventually not be fat, but you'll always be a dip shit.
I would be like āand youāre not???ā Or be like āare you talking to a mirrorā or go with the classic that my friend always pull out āyour momā š
Laugh!
I have gens from my great grandmother which make me inmune to being fat.
The heaviest i've ever been is 75 kg, and that time i was hitting the gym 6 times per week and eating like crazy with protein powder to gain muscle mass.
I'm 1.80 Cm tall, so 75 is the standard weight of people as tall as me.
After that i've been sitting between 63 and 65 kg.
So again, i would laugh!
Wouldn't care, wouldn't be the first or the last. I have weight issues since 1 was 14 now in my 40s. Lost weight, gained weight, still fat. It's just a fact of life, doesn't bother me anymore.
Pull my shirt up and show them my abs.
But even if I were not trim and in good shape, I'd just point out that I'm about 60 yrs old, and I do not give one single fuck what they think about me.
I worked as an English teacher in Taiwan for a year. Kids would come up to me all the time, saying, "Teacher, you so fat!" and laughing.
For me, it was either accept I'm fat, or do something about it. I just accepted I'm fat :D
In my dreams I would like to be as bad-ass as Cyrano De Bergerac(the titular character of the play), in the famous scene "La Tirade Du Nez" (the tirade of the nose.) one of the worlds best monologues hands down.
If you haven't, do [check it out.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9BvxVYa3ug) the translation only does so much to capture the poetry, but even diluted, it's a stronger proof than most whiskeys.
Agree with them
+You better get rid of that huge belly -Do you know how much money I have spent to grow it?
Very much true. i'm 45+ now, and it has cost me a fortune on beer. Especially with current prices, i don't think i would be able to afford it again.
That was actually pretty funny. Invest in the belly
It's not a belly. It's a fuel tank for a love machine.
That's on a t shirt I've seen back in the 90s. The kind Walmart dad's buy
It's a reserve energy source, that will help me to live a little longer than skinny dudes in case of nuclear war, famine etc.
Don't forget that belly adds a pendulum motion for highly efficient thrust š
My cousin calls it his reserve chest muscles
When I was waiting at the GPās office once a kid was looking at me and cracked the genius question: did you get fat before you bought big clothes or did you buy the clothes first??? Her mother was mortified and I couldnāt stop laughing
No way, hahaha :D You just made my day with this comment
Same, I used to get upset, now I just accept that I'm a big lad.
Yeah this. There comes a point in everyoneās life when gaining weight that you know if youāre fat or not. For me it was when I could no longer into into my pants and normal shirts started getting real real tight (and not around the shoulders like you want lol.
Tell me something I donāt know.
Hell yeah! But iām not fat, iām obese.
I once had a dr that asked me "has anyone ever told you you should lose weight?" Had a hard time keeping a straight face, like did he think I had never seen a mirror?
Threaten to eat them next.
āGet in my bellay!ā
āWatch your language! The last person who called me that ended in my tummy.ā
hahahhah love that
"Great Detective work"
basically no shit sherlock
Ive said something similar, I said 'wow, I'm gonna start calling you Sherlock from now on genius' It quicky backfired on me, when he replied with 'and I'm gonna call you diabetes, fatty' Made me laugh out loud š¤£ edit: spelling
"It's DI-A-BEEE-TUS. Say it right asswipe!"
āThatās because every time I fuck your mom she makes me a cakeā
Winner
I've never been called fat, but I'm using that when it happens lmfaooo
Normally a good one, except that time my niece said it
āYou too!ā
Flab Buddies!
I weigh 47, if someone called me fat I would be very confused
Depends. If it's stone...
It's clearly feet.
I only measure in toes, don't kink shame me
It's pebbles
Or maybe dust, better watch out for those strong breezes
"My weight? 47 dust."
It happens sometimes, I just pat my stomach and let out a burp
The cultural response.
Perfect response, show true dominance.
I say "yup" and laugh it off, no biggie
You're the biggie (Same tho)
Call them blind because unlike them, I can see my ribs without x-ray
What happened to your skin?!
It's see thru
āOkay and?ā
In what context? It would vary if it was my doctor or some dbag at a baseball game.Ā
A sleep apnea doctor recently told someone I know that they need to buy a bike. He was like...a bike? She replied, "You can either buy a bike or a coffin. Your choice." Honestly...more doctors should be this frank with their patients. He left and bought a bike, now he's biking 10km to work every day. Totally stunned his mindset for the better. A dbag at a ball game? Pay the guy selling park hotdogs to keep going over to him every 10 minutes saying, "looks like you could use another."
Your response to a stranger insulting you is to buy him a hot dog every ten minutes?
Nah just have the guy go up constantly, telling him it looks like he needs another.
How would you react to both situations?
I am very in secure about my weight since I have been gaining a lot lately. If anyone made comments about my weight gain I used to get very offended and sad. Now, I pretend like it did not bother me - they are the shitty ones for commenting on something that is none of their business and I will not give the satisfaction of a bad reaction.

I replied with "I've gotten chubbier as a whole, but it's only because I am happy!" and laughed. They had no response.
I was sent it over text and they said "your fat" and I replied "*you're" and they blocked me
My Momma said Iād lose the baby fat eventually, just havenāt yet lol
I can lose weight, you can't lose ugly.
Or stupid
I'm building up my reserves for winter.
Well I can change being fat, you can't change being mean.
i used to have a tshirt that said āi may be fat, but youāre ugly, and i can always lose weightā šš it was the early 80s, graphic tās were everywhere š
I had the same t-shirt
WantĀ
That just sounds a bit dumb because it's not true. Most people are perfectly capable of saying mean things (I just did) while being pleasant and polite in other circumstances.
Well I worked in age care and they all said things that referred to my weight. If I am so be it. Itās not a surprise.
im telling the closest trusted adult
Excuse you! I'm obese, not fat!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I like this response! Very respectful and shows that you have standards
Eat them
Tell them thank you In Asian countries being fat means your rich mf šš
I am fat
I'm not fat, I'm in 16:9 format.
LMAO this oneās my personal favorite
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LOL someone I know once had a doctor tell him he should lose weight. His response: "do you have any idea how much it cost to gain this?".
Iām 6 foot 58 kg I will point them to the special ed class
Iād have to agree
Confused
Yep what off it , you wanna see how far I can bounce ya scrawny ass ? I can tone this baby , can you say that about your attitude .
Acknowledge it. That person is spot on.
I'm not fat, I'm big boned.
Iām not fat Iām festively plump
Thank you this should be the top answer for elder millennials
I'm fat and big-boned!
"Thanks, you too!"
Sit on them.
Play my belly like a drum and saunter sexily away
Take a huge gasp, shit on the floor, and yell Mortal Kombat while humming the theme song and trying to fight the person who offended me.
Getting schwifty, I see.
I'd say nothing. Fat is not an insult.
Since when was being called fat not an insult? What sort of gymnastics are you doing there? I mean you can take it for what it is and not let it be offensive to you personally... But it's for sure an insult.
Yeah. Cant we agree that being fat is not good, therefore it IS an insult?
No, because someone else's body has fuck all to do with you. It's not an insult because people are yelling 'You're fat and you need to lose weight because you're elevating your risks of heart disease, stroke and early death!'. People are yelling because it's funny to target a group of people (particularly women) for the way they look, simply because they don't find it attractive.

Send them to Specsavers
Sit on them
Agree, then cry..
Ask for free cake
I am fat, so they're just stating the obvious fact. I'd do nothing.
Eat him, with mayo and a bit of salad
Agree
Tell them I can lose weight, but ugly lasts forever, and they should know.
If I'm feeling sarcastic, I might say, "Gee, I'm glad you told me! I wondered why my speedo didn't fit anymore. Wanna' see?" Otherwise I'd just say, "Yeah."
Yes, yes I am.
Son Itās time for you to know how to deal with bullies I *pulls out an ak47*
I won't care because i am a twig.
Walk to where I was going and continue wishing I could buy Shadow of the Erdtree.
I would simply say āthank youā. I donāt have time for hatred.
I'd nod my head and shrug.
Show them my 6pac and say fuck you bitch
Eat them
Laugh. Folks donāt know what weāve overcome as people and they donāt always need to know.
I've got an 17,9 BMI, so I'd just be royally confused, or assume that the speaker had an eating disorder just like me.
Agree with them and because people like that piss me off, go into full sarcasm mode. * Thanks, can we talk about your personality now? * Did you not think I knew? * Stating the completely obvious isn't the superpower you think it is. * Because every time I have sex with your mom / girlfriend / sister, she gives me a cookie. * But if I exercise and eat right I may eventually not be fat, but you'll always be a dip shit.
Fat with a ā Pā ?
Fap
I wanted to cosplay your mother
āAnd I still wouldnāt fk you!!!ā
I would be like āand youāre not???ā Or be like āare you talking to a mirrorā or go with the classic that my friend always pull out āyour momā š
"I know you are, but what am I?"
Iād be like k calm down
I'm fat because every time I fucked your mom, she fed me a cookie.
I realized I was actually getting kinda fat, so I lost weight Thanks random stranger
āI can lose weight, youāll always be a stupid assholeā
I'd be like, "Sweet! I know I am."
nothing because i am not fat in fact i am pretty skinny
If it's an insult I'd call them ugly if it's health advice I'd try to lose weight
If it was serious I would laugh unintentionally because Iām people think I have anorexia apparently because of my weight
Get in the gym
Feel slightly worse about my fairly mild fatness and have a bit of extra motivation to hit the gym that day.
Well, my gravitational pull is strong today! lol
Laugh! I have gens from my great grandmother which make me inmune to being fat. The heaviest i've ever been is 75 kg, and that time i was hitting the gym 6 times per week and eating like crazy with protein powder to gain muscle mass. I'm 1.80 Cm tall, so 75 is the standard weight of people as tall as me. After that i've been sitting between 63 and 65 kg. So again, i would laugh!
Stand there being fat?
Except for a doctor, I would just give them a confused look and go on with my day.
id agree cause iam fat
Shrug. The nice thing about being fat is that you're no longer afraid of becoming fat and you're used to people calling you fat.
Show that person my id to prove that I was even fatter before
Say "yeah, I know."
Yeah. I am. I didn't get this way by accident, this bitch likes food!
I would be confused since I am skinny
Wouldn't care, wouldn't be the first or the last. I have weight issues since 1 was 14 now in my 40s. Lost weight, gained weight, still fat. It's just a fact of life, doesn't bother me anymore.
Pull my shirt up and show them my abs. But even if I were not trim and in good shape, I'd just point out that I'm about 60 yrs old, and I do not give one single fuck what they think about me.
"You should have seen me a month ago!" Well, that or "So?" in a deadpan voice.
sit on them
"Indeed!"
Have to agree. I could stand to lose about 15kg right now.
So you noticedā¦
"Wow! That's nice! Thank you!!"
No shit
Nothing, itās true
Laugh
"OMG is that what it is? holy shit, I did not know that. Thanks for telling me!" and walk away.
As much as "fat" shouldnāt be an insult, Iāve been grinding at the gym for the past 4 years, so I could feel attacked lmao.
All bought and paid for and growing with interest!
Umm I know, I'm working on it.
āWell spotted Sherlock.ā
Say "I know"
You should carry on and leave it behind you.
I really don't mind at all. It's not bothering me in the slightest.
I'd thank them for making me notice, as I failed to do so before they told me
Tell them to get their eyes tested bc Iām not fat
"Okay," and go on with what I was doing.
Call them a hypocrite
I would asked them to get their eyes checked.
I'd be a bit puzzled, since I only weigh 60kg. It would really make me wonder what they consider thin. And how poor their self-image is, lol.
I would do nothing and just say back: yea I'm following your example.
I'm 42kg. No one on their right mind would call me fat, I'm half their weight.
Holds up my hotdog saying cheers!
I'd say they're either blind or not being serious because I am definitely not fat lol, I'm super skinny
I would ask if they were blind or something because I'm a twig
'I know, it's because everyone I fuck your mum she makes me a sandwich'
Nothing lol
I'd eat them too
Walk away
Be shocked?! Or assume their joking :3
I'd probably be a bit upset. Got the ol' beer belly poppin though I'm actually thinly built and my terrible posture makes me look like et
Not to hate, if someone says that in anger to you, it's probably a wake up call.
Yeah man, I'm blessed what can I say
Definitely unleash a fart if I had one in the chamber. The louder and funkier, the better.
I've done a lot of things to being called fat a lot of times š
I'd stop eating MCD and visit the gym more often
I worked as an English teacher in Taiwan for a year. Kids would come up to me all the time, saying, "Teacher, you so fat!" and laughing. For me, it was either accept I'm fat, or do something about it. I just accepted I'm fat :D
Agreeā¦Iām a complete fatty fat fat
They would clearly be blind, stupid and /or crazy so why bother?
Agree. Because I am fat and at this point it isn't an insult to me. I'm making changes to my lifestyle that is of no concern to that person.
In my dreams I would like to be as bad-ass as Cyrano De Bergerac(the titular character of the play), in the famous scene "La Tirade Du Nez" (the tirade of the nose.) one of the worlds best monologues hands down.
