The great white north, eh?
It occurred to me the other day that we don’t have names for a lot of fat features. We are all familiar with double chins and love handles of course. There was recent discussion on here of “chankles” (chubby ankles, where the ankle is marked more by a crease in the fat than anything else). Somewhere I have seen the roll of fat running from a woman’s breasts back across her side as “wings,” although I consider that to be a pretty lame name and surely ripe for something more evocative. At least within this community I think most people would be familiar with the belly apron. BoBabe introduced (at least introduced to me, maybe others knew it already) the term “muffin top” for hips bulging out over the waistband of low-rise pants.

But there are so many other things that are distinct to fat folk (sometimes just fat women) for which I at least have not heard names. So minds of Dimensions, nomination are now open for the following, and you all have a standing invitation to add to the list. Oh, and personally I’ve been trying to resist looking at pictures lately, but I’m sure that if anyone wanted to provide illustration of any of these there would be many appreciative folk!

The role of fat that forms right above the knee, and sometimes hangs down somewhat on the inner edge of the thigh, most often seen on pear shaped women.

The bulge of fat right above an elbow dimple.

The wrist equivalent of chankles.

The rolls of fat stacked up someone’s back (mentally I call it a ‘ladder of rolls’ but I’m sure there is a better name)

The small roll some women get at the top of their belly, squeezed between breasts and main belly.

On a belly that hangs down at least a little, the lowest point of the belly (the part that is horizontal, nearest to the ground).

On a guy who is fat enough, the crease between breasts and belly.

Generically, the name of the valley or crease between two rolls of fat (I think I saw “roll cleavage” used somewhere for this once)

The portion of chubby thighs that rub against each other.

The furrow cut into soft flesh by a bra strap, and/or the ridge of fat on each side of it.

Breasts that are not necessarily bigger, in terms of how they stick out, but bigger in diameter and circumference. I.e. covering more of the chest.

A permanent indentation formed in a belly from waistbands being strapped tightly into it all the time.

Feel free to add more!
