answer:This is a strangly elusive question. I mean it seems kind of obvious what fat is, but at the same time it isn’t. There are people who are actually pretty fat who I don’t think of as fat. It could be the way they dress themselves, carry themselves, or their personailty. Then there’s other people who just seem to exude fatness, aside from just being fat. It’s my first impression of them and it kind of dominates their image. I don’t think there’s a quantitative definition of what fat means to me, it’s just something I sense about some people and don’t about others. The “fattest” person I know weighs less than the heaviest person I know, for example. I guess where their weight is makes a difference, e.g. bulging bellies look fat while “big boned” people don’t.
