I try to teach my medical residents that terms such as fat, obese, blimp, beached whale, lard rump, porker, etc. can be dispiritng to a portion of hte population. The sensitive, politically correct term for the 21st century is "chunkster." A little empathy, please.

Ohhhh ... LOL ... but I think "chunky monkey" is an endearing description.

I thought it was "gravitas."

Or, if you practice nuclear medicine, a "graviton source."
