What are your pet peeves?

Alex,

It occurs to me that as our waistline grows, our definition of "fat" has grown with it. I reacted the same way as others here, and wouldn't call you fat. Overwieght perhaps. But you carry it well.

It use to be that there was two catigories, fat and thin. Now I think there is overwieght, chunky, fat, portly (which could be any one of the first three), and obese. Also, their are a few in the Grossly Obese area (like the 700 lb. man).

I'm currently about 25 lbs. over wieght because of my accident and surgery. I've been sitting around so much. I would consider that overwieght. But really, in the end it is all symantics, and how you feel about yourself. And I don't consider someone fat until they are at least 50% over their ideal weight (I.E. a 200 lb. man wieghing 300lbs).

But Wop? Nig? Where the heck are these guys from, Watts? Sorry to hear you had to be in the presence of such slime of the Earth......
