Have you heard the term people of size.

It's a substitute for fat, big, plus size, large. Is it a better choice

    That sounds rather silly. 

    How about we stop make being called fat or big an inherently bad thing that we should be ashamed of, instead.

    When I read that, I thought so too. But some people want to take PC to the extreme. Fat is fat just as skinny is skinny.

    THANK YOU. LIKE.

    Nimitz, I know, it was either fat or it was skinny. There was no in between.

    Well, back when I was fat, people would refer to me by all manner of vile names; lard a$$ being the most common.

  • No, that's stupid. Everyone has some size. That's like calling tall people "people of height" or old people "people of age". It's part of the reason I think "people of color" is so stupid.
