How it's used
While this term describes a person's physical appearance, it is often used in a friendly or affectionate way rather than as a harsh insult. It is common to hear it used to describe young children or close friends, though using it to address a stranger can still be perceived as rude or inappropriate depending on the tone. It carries a more casual, colloquial feel compared to more clinical descriptions of body weight.
