    Why is it socially acceptable to call people skinny but not to call them fat ?? If a fat person in my office calls me skinny why cant i call them fat ?? Why are HR getting involved now ?

    Another one? Seriously?

    I've been called fat more times in my life than I care to remember, by friends, family and total strangers in the street.

    Go ahead, call them fat, chances are you won't be the first one to do it. And if it makes you feel better, it's certainly worth it, isn't it?

    I dont think you understand . I didnt just call someone fat out of the blue . It was in reponse to something he said to me . He just took offence

    So he insulted you and you insulted him back?

    He deserved it. Forget about it now... and get off here and back to work before you get the sack ;)

    I would prefer to be called "fat" than to be called "morbidly obese"
