Recently my mom and I got into a discussion about something that has perplexed us, and that is, why is calling someone fat considered bad? I've even been told that the term 'bigger' was bad, when that's as sugar coated as I can make it. Is there a proper term I should use? I don't get offended by being called skinny when it's being used in the same context one would call another fat. Hell I've been compared to twigs, which would...technically be a worse term.
Thoughts?
