Comebacks to fat-haters

There's a thread on LTC about this...people were venting about fat-hating comments they'd been the target of.

I came up with repartees. Maybe some of you can do better?


"You're pretty for a fat girl!"
"And YOU'RE pretty...for a rude bitch!"


"I'd marry you if you lost 30lbs."
"But I still wouldn't marry you, so what would be the point?"


"Do you have a baby in your tummy?"
"Do you have a brain in your head?"


"did you lose weight?" or
"Humm, you have gained some weight, haven't you ?" or
"I don't want to embarrass you, but have you put on weight?"
"Actually I've documented it on my website, noneofyour***ingbusiness.com"


"Ohhhhhhhhh you're not fat"
"And you're blind."


"i bet your boyfriend would like it if you lost weight".
"You'd lose."


"omg I'm so fat" <<from a thin friend as you stand next to them...
"No, but eat a little more. You'll get there."


"you look really good and hot but the hell what is with your weight, you are so heavy!"
"what the hell is it with your mouth? You're so offensive!"


"you need to loose weight if you wanna feel sexy."
"you need to get a clue if you want to speak to me."


"You will never get married unless you lose weight."
"Why would I want to marry a guy who likes skinny girls?"


"You will never amount to anything unless you lose weight."
"Then why have you never amounted to anything?"


"have you thought about the lap-band?"
"Have you thought about the mouth gag?"


"I think I'm going to have a salad"
"You eat salad?"
"No, I just throw it at rude people."


Mom: "It's painful to look at you in clothes now"
"You'd rather see me naked? Creepy, Mom!"


"You know you can take some of that home, you don't have to eat it all here."
"You know you can take your advice home, you don't need to say it here."


Dad: "No one wants to see all that."
"Then why do they look?"


"Wow, she's even bigger than you!"
"At least her friends aren't rude."


"How's your diet going?"
"I don't know...I didn't know I was on one!"


"Red is definitely your colour, it's more slimming!"
"Too bad there's no color for rudeness."


"When's the baby due?"
"It'll have to be conceived first."


"you're not getting fat are you? maybe you need water pills cause you look like your retaining water"
"You're not getting naggy are you? Maybe you need to stick your head in a bag."


"Be careful not too eat too much. It'll make you gain weight."
"Wow, I never heard of that. Let me write that down. Got a pen? What was it again?"


"Since you're fat it doesn't count that you're pretty."
"Since you're obnoxious it doesn't count that you're thin."


"if you only lost some weight you would be happy"
"Why, because you'd quit nagging?"


"You'd be attractive if you lost 30 pounds"
"Well YOU'D be attractive if you...uh...gee, I can't think of anything."


"you have lost a lot... it must suck to have 100 more to go..."
"Not as much as remarks like that."


"Should you be eating that?"
"Should you be nagging about it?"


"That's not diet food. I see you've given up on losing weight"
"Yes, I gave a press conference on that yesterday. Didn't you watch the news?"


"Maybe if you lose weight you'll find a boyfriend"
"Maybe if you didn't nag you'd keep me as a friend."


"SHOULDN'T YOU BE AT THE GYM???? HAHAHHA."
"No, they have obnoxious idiots there as well."


Mom: "Maybe you need a boob job."
You: "Boob job?"
Mom: "Yea, suck the fat out of your belly and put it in your boobs."
You: "Or maybe they could just suck the fat out of your head."


Your friends (overheard): "she has gained a lot", she is really fat now", "she is letting herself go"
You: "Hey! I'm fat, not deaf!"

you'd be so attractive if you lost weight
you'd be more attractive if you closed your mouth.

Mom: "It's painful to look at you in clothes now"
"You'd rather see me naked? Creepy, Mom!"

Mom commented on how tight my clothes are...

Thanks!

I saw something on TV the other day. A guy was with a girl that was heavy. some skinny girl ask why would you want that when you can have all of this, referring to her body. His response was great. why would I want that. There is nothing to that.


Sounds hilarious. Do you remember the name of the show?

Persons: i think is a shit being isolated and insulted for being fat but so it is for being skinny as i am. I think we all should try to mature and accept and appreciate each others as we are. I do.


I wouldn't normally insult someone for being thin--unless she asks for it, as was clearly the case in the example given.

Same here. I just hate it when an insult is delivered in such a telling manner. She implied to know what he was thinking, which is not always the case.

While quite a lot of these are humorous, I'd advise against using a comeback if (or more likely, when) a situation like this arises.


Comebacks can backfire, but when they work they can be sweet. (I guess I should have labeled them: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!)

So how would YOU respond to remarks like these?

I have found that simply saying "Thank you" and interpreting the insult as a compliment helps out a lot.

"Fatty!"
"Aw, thanks!"

"You really need to lose weight."
"Am i really that big? I am so glad!"

Usually, if done correctly, you end up disarming the meanie, leaving them to drown in a sea of confusion and loss of perspective.

Of course, for the bigger offenses, you have to bring out the big guns. I am not fat myself, but i have been known to proactively defend other people's weight, and i have been known to monologue (think of it as a beatdown, one punch swiftly followed by dozens more).


Yeah, if you can spin it into a positive thing somehow that's probably better than a rap slam battle!

Though, having said that, I now want to see a fat girl win a rap slam battle. smiley
