I usually call my friends fat when they have something I want. "Omg you're so fat, you should share that with me!!" Haha but it's just because we are tight like that. My friend Robert calls me "heifer" as a term of endearment. Lol. Clearly, most situations can only be judged on individual bases. I don't think it's wrong at all to give your friend or family member well meaning advice about their weight at all.
Damnit, stop being so agreeable!
But for serious, this is also very true. Anyone who takes a friend's genuine concern as an insult, really isn't a friend in the first place.
Same here, actually. I can't actually think of a single friend of mine that is fat, in any use of the word (other than the aforementioned "When you want something" situation, used that a lot too!). But yeah. If i was genuinely concerned about someone's weight and it's effects on their health, i would mention it and try to help, if possible.
