PC Comments to BB & Verbal Smack Replies 4 Those Who Mess Up!

freedom_myth · 06-15-2005, 08:27 AM

ok, amazonchick has come up with a good point. there are PC terms for fatties (oops i mean slightly over optimal bodyweight folks) not to mention other people based on: tall, short, black, white, male, female, religious, sexual orientation and the list goes on... well, it is way past due for mere mortals to be taught what is and is not PC to say to BB, weightlifters, power lifters and the like... and when to say it. and to "help educate" folks with some occasional tough love and verbal smacks when they make remarks that damage our sensitivities and threaten to mess up our workouts, etc...

The recent remarks that began this thread included:

1) a (self proclaimed) and board member certified, truly remarkable male specimen being repeatedly told he looked too thin and had lost weight while he had the flu.
2) a weight training board member being asked if she taught aerobics.
3) another weight lifting female being asked if she were a "runner"

*** This abuse and lack of respect must come to an end! LOL...

I was at my in-laws a week out from my first show and my mother-in-law (who I love dearly) said "You look really thin". I was thinking ....Thin??!!! WTF??!!! I felt like ripping off my shirt and pants right there and yelling "Does this look like thin to you wench??!!"??!!

Speaking of Mother-in-laws:

After I lost my love handles but before the forward belly shrunk my mother-in-law commented "If you are losing weight how come you are still fat in front?". It was my wife said, "We don't appreciate personal comments like that".

Well, the last tyme it happened.. was Tuesday nyght... With my boys in the band who told me I look lyke I'm cutting...

I immediatly said.. "Man, Fugggg you..." .. Then I said, "I thynk you need to get syck too..."

But we were all just teasing each other...

Hmm.. maybe I'll say - "Yeah, but I was syck!!! Your ugliness is permanent."

Peace..~G

If it's a Fattie giving you a bad time, just ask them "Hey, how's that whole 'Eat Anything You Want All The Friggin' Time' diet working out for you?"

Just look at the guy, and then the friend who claimed he was "about your size" and say "Ahhhh, yes! I shall call him....Mini-Me!!!!" (putting your pinky up to the corner of your mouth is optional).
