What the word of the week!?

"Hefty"

Defined: quite heavy; marked by bigness, bulk, and usually strength; impressively large.

This morning, in my exercise physiology class, the graduate students were making their presentations on dose response and the relationship between exercise/diet and reduction in risk of obesity. It sounds really cool, but in fact it's pretty boring. Well, Shantrese (sp?) was talking to us about programs for overweight children. She referred to these children as "hefty" for the majority of the presentation that is until my professor, we'll call him, Dr. No stepped in. Now, Dr. No is probably the most spastic person I have ever come in contact with. He blurts out, "They're fat, so you don't have to sugar coat it...don't call them hefty" He adds, "Hefty, what the hell is that?... no, there really really fat and let's be honest, it's gross." BRAVO Greg! There is one super fat girl in my class, and it was a Shane Murray Special, in terms of being awkward. Let's not sugar coat it because those gross fattys will probably try to scarf it down.

Runner up (well more like a phrase): "Have a blessed day"
