| New emoticon for "I feel piggy." |
It's only a matter of time. Soon, uttering the word "fat" will be considered more heinous than saying that other F-word, which is already so common it barely registers anymore. The latest controversy involves a Facebook emoticon of a chubby-cheeked happy face meaning "I feel fat." This silly little bit of nonsense has the denizens of social media outraged, calling it "insensitive" and "body shaming." There is even a petition afoot to have the offensive image removed from the site, but Facebook is standing firm.
So now you can't say "I'm feeling fat" after downing three slices of pizza and a large Coke without hurting some fat person's feelings. Not sure whether you can say it if you actually
are fat or if there are no fat people within earshot. Too bad nobody has come up with a petition against
being fat.
