Talk:fat-ass

"(pejorative) A jibe used on someone disliked or regarded as lazy." Not the usual sense (second in our entry) of somebody who is fat. Equinox ◑ 10:15, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it just means a generic insult, like dickhead or something like that. If that's the case, I'd claim clear widespread use. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:48, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The "lazy" sense seems OK to me. I think of it is having the three senses, in declining order of aptness and specificity: fat, especially....; lazy; used as general pejorative. The last seems the most questionable/hardest to attest in print, but I wouldn't challenge it. DCDuring TALK 14:10, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The sense of lazy would come from the implication that someone who does no work lacks exercise and hence becomes fat. It's rare, but plausibly used. —CodeCat 14:56, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's a generation thing, but it doesn't seem rare at all to me. It was popularised on the TV show South Park I think. Definitely keep IMO. ---&gt; Tooironic 22:17, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It is certainly in widespread use. It is hard to nail down which of the three senses I perceive is meant at any one use, but my memory of the instances suggests that all three are possible. I would want to have to attest these from text-only sources since one could not readily differentiate sense 1 from the other two. DCDuring TALK 00:49, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Two senses, in widespread use, passed. - -sche (discuss) 04:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
