A friend of mine was trying to describe the lunch ladies at her kids' school and couldn't find the proper adjective that met the current politically correct criteria.
That was because there were no PC adjectives.
The lunch ladies in question had passed a size point at which kind words like "heavy" or "chubby" or "plus-sized" no longer had any meaning. My friend settled on gargantuan, although it calls to mind the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Her other choices were Moby Dick, Shamu, massive, gi-normous, hu-mongoid. . .
Unfortunately, it is also an un-PC choice to use the most truthful description: unhealthy. As in "you are increasing everyone's health insurance premiums." Or, more to the point considering these were the ladies serving lunch to elementary school students: "Look at the example you're setting."
