I understand what you mean. but in reality thats not always true. some people ,including myslef, find it very offensive when people are called fat. there are other words to use plump, obeese, heavy. but fat can sound mean. it depends even though someone uses that term and they don't mean it badly some people who are obeese are very sensitive about what people think about them. if someone used the word fat around them it could really hurt their feelings. i just wanted to put in my 2 cents.
