Beautiful words for "fat" - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

**Owen** · 17th Dec 2011, 09:25 AM

Hey gang!

I've made it no secret that I like my men with some (well, a lot of) meat on their bones, and because of that, I've long been searching for a euphemism, a "nice word", for people who are, well, fat. It's unfortunate that, in our society, "fat" is seen as a negative word, as an insult, as a flaw, but that's the way it is right now, and while I wish it were different, I have to work with what I'm given. I've used words like "bigger" and phrases like "with some meat on their bones", but I'm still looking for a word I can use to describe a chubby person (as well as word I can use to describe their chubbiness itself) that has a positive connotation, a word that empowers the person it describes, rather than belittling them.

So I pose this as a challenge for you, fellow EC'ers! What are some beautiful, empowering, flattering, positive words that act as:

1. An adjective to describe a fat person (like "chubby"), and

2. A noun to describe their voluptuousness itself (like "curves", but less female-specific).

Well rounded?

Of a full build?

breakingboxes · 17th Dec 2011, 09:35 AM

abundant, ample... BEAUTIFUL!

I've always loved the word-- Rubenesque...Yes, I realize this word is generally considered a word to describe ripe, luscious ladies, but I find it a beautiful word that rolls of the tongue and perfectly honors the gift of flesh. And yes, I too prefer more meat on the bone--more curves for me, please!

heatqueen · 17th Dec 2011, 10:04 AM

I <3 curves.

Curvaceous, busty, slender, GORGEOUS.

Aeon Magus · 17th Dec 2011, 11:45 AM

Plentiful. Stout. Cuddly. Portly.

O.o
No idea if these are of any help to you, Owen. Words have so much power, it's all about how you use them. Also, some people may take offense to certain words where others do not.

Now go, and make the world seem brighter with your bootiful words!

crazyhead · 17th Dec 2011, 12:05 PM

Fluffy, jiggly, squishy.
I love me some squishy.

Bosco · 17th Dec 2011, 12:31 PM

Cuddly?
Teddy Bear!

I've always thought 'husky' had a certain ring to it...

LdSlnce · 17th Dec 2011, 02:08 PM

I have to agree with you on that, but with girls really. Being "skinny" is...a turn off

Hmm... Cuddly, more to love, squishy, BBM (Big Beautiful Man - orginally BBW for Woman. Heard it on some show), huggable, round, sunshine (sun reference...frankly, the sun is a beautiful thing, so...), pokey (poh-key. It's in Chamorro/Gumanian. It means fat, but...well maybe it isn't the best word

)

I second that. Husky teddy bear!

Youngbutproud · 17th Dec 2011, 06:06 PM

I'm usually called curvy fat or plump I don't mind though if a person is really so sensitive about there weight then change it

Rinto · 18th Dec 2011, 07:44 AM

Adjectives? I guess "huggable", "cuddly" and "cute" would already sound nice. They all fit for teddy bear descriptions ^_^ And also "healthy" and "able-bodied"

For the other relatable words, I guess "power", "strength" or "arms" could ring fine.

Danny19 · 18th Dec 2011, 10:52 AM

precious..oh wait. thats the movie..lol

anyways im fat. and people call me teddy bear or fluffy. ahah.

seeksanctuary · 18th Dec 2011, 11:59 AM

"Fat".

No, seriously. Being fat isn't innately a bad thing, no matter what some people think. Some people might be ashamed of their weight and thus recoil away from the word "fat", but all the more reason to try and accept the word and make it less of a verbal weapon. Euphemisms are nice but they don't help much in the long run.

But... if a word must be found, we tend to go with "fluffy" a la Gabriel Iglesias. xD

Agreed. Smith should be referenced when possible.
