You know, Mrs. Smith, madam, I forgot to clarify the definition of "fat" when I first posted this. There's different definitions for "fat" for men, and for "fat" for women.
The gigantic primitive, at his self-admitted 500 pounds, is a fat primitive.
Fat Che, now mausoleumed, would be a fat primitive if he was still on Skins's island.
Fat Che's little brother, the Fat Che's Little Brothert beer primitive, self-exiled from Skins's island, would be a fat primitive.
The late kleptomaniac primitive, the "Kephra" primitive, would be a fat primitive if he were still in this time and place.
There's no doubt any of these guys are, or were, fat, monstrously so.
Then it gets a little iffy--Lord Marblehead EarlG, for example; is he fat, or just portly?
The mike_c primitive, for another example; is he fat, or is he merely short and pot-bellied?
For males, I'll accept the definition of "fat" as being circa 50% above healthy body weight for one's size; a guy 6'2" and 200 pounds wouldn't be fat, but a guy 6'2" and 300 pounds would be fat.
If anyone finds a post complaining about hunger from a primitive, and posts it here, I'm willing to debate the criteria for "fat," and I'm sure we can come to an agreeable agreement.
Women are a different matter altogether.
It depends upon whether or not the female primitive has borne children.
If she has borne children, she gets a hefty discount.
There are some who insist, no, a woman can get back into "perfect" physical shape after pregnancy, if she cares about herself, but to me, that's demanding too much. Sometimes mothers have to care about other people, before they can care about themselves. It's a law of nature.
I'm not sure where the dividing line for "fat" is here. I'm assuming that if a woman is 5'5" and weighs 170 pounds--but has borne children--well, I'm hesitant about calling her "fat." Maybe if she weighs 210 pounds, yeah, sure.
The primitive woman bothered by cold weather, the "TroubleInWinter" primitive, has borne at least one child, but is the size of, uh, one of those Polynesian queens of yore, and even with the "discount," she's simply enormous.
For women who have not borne children, such as the subway cat, well, the subway cat is a fat primitive.
I have no idea if the racist babbling sister primitive, the "Babylon Sister" primitive, has borne children, but she's pretty big. When sitting at the computer, her buttocks hang over and droop along the sides of her chair, and possibly there's an extra support post in the basement, to help prop up the floor where she sits.
The silly primitive, the "SoCalDem" primitive, has had three children and is hefty, but I think at best she'd merely be a borderline case when it comes to defining a female primitive as a fat primitive. The "greenbriar" primitive has borne one child and most might think her fat, but with her discount, she's not fat.
There's another factor with women primitives too. I suppose, strictly speaking, Grandma, the "hippywife" primitive, a mountainess of a woman, might be considered "fat" by some, but not by me. Grandma is ancient and of an affectionate nature, which transcends her body size. I've seen a self-posted photograph of Grandma, and if I didn't know who she was, I'd consider her fat, very fat. But because I know she's Grandma, I don't consider her fat; I don't even see her massive size at all, only her warm and generous heart and pleasant smile.
As mentioned, when someone finds a primitive complaining of hunger, I'm always willing to discuss whether or not that particular primitive is fat.
