This is a little sidetrack, but this thread made me think about something...
notice how certain words when used to insult us when we were younger we avoid as much as possible? I personally used to be called fat all the time when I was younger.. Now, even though I try to describe someone as bigger, I will use terms, like
bigger,
heavy set,
a bit larger, etc.. I don't like the term
fat... Although I must admit, I have used it on occassion...
