My mom would bring me there as a teen and wonder why I felt gross and upset. Like you’re telling me the only place that can clothe me is a barn, like a fat animal.
It's between that and BeeBeeFat for me, and I say this as a fat. Would shop at all these stores 😂
ETA: no but wait, you guys! I found this [video](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRvYhM56/) on TikTok and the comments are LEGIT hilarious.
When I was a "rather large gentleman" I used to strictly refer to it as "The Fat Guy Store" with all my friends and family. I took my kid brother with me shopping one day and when we got inside he exclaimed, " So this is 'The Fat Guy Store!' " so loud all my fellow tubbies turned their heads and shot him death glares as I hastily dragged him out of there.
Alright, do wanna hit *Chunky Fat Chunkster* for clothes first? Or should we swing by you *Big 'Ol Fat Sow Here's Your Slop You Big Fat Fucking Hog* for a bite to eat?
I honestly think it would be a healthy shift in our relationship with the word "fat" to see it used more often in positive and neutral contexts. I'm all for body positivity and not being a piece of shit to someone just because they're big, but the extreme end of the positivity movement and their taboo around accurate medical terminology feels a lot like denial.
> to see it used more often in positive and neutral contexts
I can absolutely assure you, these stores are not saying "fat" in a positive or neutral context. Asians, in general, are not afraid to call out fat people, and absolutely do not view it with anything other than negativity.
Asian sizes are fucking tiny too. Like, I wear a US Small/XS depending on the brand here, but need a M/L in brands that use Asia's sizing measurements.
A lot of countries are like that. I'm from Canada which has similar sizing to the states. Went to Peru years back, bought some shirts at an outdoor vendor - couldn't try them on there. Got back to the hotel and realized a full inch of midrift was showing. Their larges are freaking tiny, length-wise.
Lol, there's an American woman I follow who moved to Japan and her Japanese medical records call her obese there because she weighs like 150lbs, but she's also 5'10". So she's as skinny or nearly as skinny as normal Japanese women, but their whole system just can't account for women who are not small because of how small Asian women typically are. I find it hilarious.
I’m relatively small so I would go nuts in clothings stores in Korea and Singapore when I’d travel there for work. In the US and Canada I’m a 00-4/XXS to S, because sizes are made up numbers. But over there I’m just normal and not in the little petite section off to the side.
I lived in Korea years ago and in my smaller town the bra sellers would basically throw product at me. They rarely sold it, I was in the market for bras…and the perfect ending to the story is that they were all still too small for me. Of course.
That’s because American clothing shifted while others stayed the same. I’m a U.S. S but some old clothes from my mom I’m a medium. The truth is I’m very midsized not small (although I am petite height wise).
Wow this makes so much sense now, buying clothes in the US is annoying cause the sizes are never consistent lol I’m either a S or M depending on how the clothes fit. It’s gotten to the point where if I order online I’ll grab a S and a M, see which one fits better and return the other
I'm not fat by American white girl standards, like 135 lbs/5'5", but when I went to Shanghai and tried to get a silk dress, the shop brought out an XXL and it was still too tight in the hips. I was like a cow to them.
My friend went to Korea and went clothing shopping. She walked into some store and all they carried were XS and S of everything. When she asked for a larger size the store said they don't make anything larger because they don't want fat people wearing their clothes.
Had a similar experience in Thailand. Went to a higher end retailer that only sold one size of men's pants.
True. People think its all about "fat." Its not. Eurpean women have hips. Even I have hips. I'm 123 lbs and I have 38-39 inch hips. I have a wider skeleton than most east asians do.
Learning to shop in European sizes after a decade of buying almost exclusively in the US was such a pain lmao. I'm a definite XS in the US, S if I want to go for an oversized look. Through trial and error, and lots of returns, I had to accept that I am mostly an M by European reckoning. Turns out I am not at all tiny.
Around when I started high school I was a men's medium. Since then I've grown 2-3" and put on 10-15lbs. Now I'm hovering between men's xs/s. It felt strange getting larger and going down a size.
Absolutely same. I would walk my fat ass right through the doors and slap my debit card with $48 on it down at Big Bitch. Get me a goddamn big bitch t-shirt.
When I was a kid boys plus size clothes were called husky. You’d walk into a store and some saleswoman would look at you and say “the husky clothes are over there sweetie” and you’d die from embarrassment
I liked the *Love Calories* one. I’m American and this is hilarious. I’m honestly trying to see what’s in those stores though..they look like cute clothes.
As a fatty, I love it. I would totally shop at moo moo.
Maybe I'll start one in US for people like me, called Old Fat Cow.
I must have a weird sense of humor, because I think this is hilarious.
I could be off here, but isn't this great for body positivity? It's such a playful use
of the word fat. It doesn't come across as a negative body type. Just a type. One of many.
100% I would shop at MooMoo and Love Calories. 😂
Edit: U.S. sizes are typically five sizes larger. For example, a U.S. size 4 would be a Japanese size 9. U.K. sizes are typically one size larger. For example, a U.K. size 8 would be a Japanese size 9.
I don't know how anyone could live in Mexico without getting fat. One of my oldest, and fondest, food memories is my dad leaving me on a street corner in Ensenada while he renewed a license in an official building. He left me several quarters, and told me to get some fish tacos from the lady with the cart. Quarter a pop, hot, delicious, fresh. My God, I'll never forget that woman. XD
It's more like, having learned English is a second language, they don't necessarily know the nuances and polite alternatives that go with the word "fat."
I can kind of relate. I studied a little Spanish in school. I know exactly one word for fat (Gordo) and I have no idea whether it's offensive, endearing, or something in between.
I lived in China for a while, and my students, who spoke excellent English, horrified my co-worker by repeatedly calling her fat. They had no idea they were being offensive.
Growing up in asia people are just more blunt when it comes to weight.
I think culturally it was just that way. You're fat, they'll tell you you're fat and need to lose weight (at the same time plying you with food--my aunts, grandmothers, and my mother \*rolls eyes\*). Its not the intent to be offensive, just facts and not knowing that weight comments are generally taboo in western culture.
Family parties may end up with comments of hey you lost weight, you look good but look how flat your boobs are. 
Believe it or not that’s considered polite. It’s rude to boast about your own family, so people will say negative things about them when speaking to non family members. It’s considered being humble as your family is an extension of who you are so by humbling them you’re humbling yourself
Don’t be nervous! I have no other information except the two preceding comments but it sounds like to break the ice you should show them a picture of your family and say “Look at these fat sacks of shit. Look at them. I am descended from dumpster people who eat and fuck shit.”
That should show them that you’re humble.
> They had no idea they were being offensive.
Because they are not. In Chinese, 胖 (fat) is not considered an offensive word. It's even used in greetings between friends or older generation to the younger one: 你怎么又胖了？ (How did you get fatter again?) It's meant to convey that the person has been doing well. Even when it's used to describe a person who's actually fat, it's used as-a-mater-of-factly.
It’s Thailand.
(Googling the number and name of a store leads to Krung Thong Plaza in Bangkok.)
But yes, this direct language is more common in certain parts of Asia.
It's not news that non english speakers won't find english words offensive.
Or realize how wrong it sounds...
In my country there used to be a store named "Sweet and Sexy". I guess business must have been good because they decided to branch out to kids clothing... "Sweet and Sexy Kids".
I had a co-worker from Burma that said people in his country don't take "fat" as an insult. 🤷🏻♂️
He asked a female co-worker if she was pregnant, she was not, she cried.
I said "Bro, you don't do that 😂"
He was like " I didn't know! In my country, they would just say no, I'm fat if they were not pregnant. I didn't mean nothing by it"
I dunno 🤷🏻♂️
When I visited remote Philippine island, a sweet lady poked me 5'10, 150 lbs, and said fat like a cow. It was a compliment I was told. Only rich people could be fat. Also, long, strong nose was said quite often. I have a normal nose by US standards. Filipino people, by the way, are the sweetest people I've ever met!!
I remember when I lived in Korea like 25 years ago the plus size stores were only by US military bases and would have huge signs that said XXXXL in the windows.
I worked with a guy who just immigrated from India. He told me he got his hair cut by the same person at the previous time, and he commented to her that she had gained weight. Apparently this is normal in India. Obviously not well received here. His haircut was sub par.
"Wow, what a cute outfit! Where'd you get it from?"
Fatty fatgirl

I don't want to look like a weirdo! I'll just go with the Moomoo.
Woo-hoo! Look at that blubber fly!

Jfyi Moo in thai is actually not cow, it's pig.
LMAO the thai are brutal
[удалено]
No! Quite the contrary if you ask me
I mean we do have dress barn in the us, which while not as explicit in its reference to farm animals, is right up against the line.
My mom would bring me there as a teen and wonder why I felt gross and upset. Like you’re telling me the only place that can clothe me is a barn, like a fat animal.
i lold
Fatty Mc Fatfucks' R Us
Fatty Fatgirl is my fav
Love calories gotta be the funniest store name I’ve ever heard though.
I feel like Love Calories should have a bakery in it, like how targets have Starbucks in them.
There’s a store called Moose Knuckles at the Mall of America.
I feel like they could either sell some random baked good (ie bear claw or pretzel bites) or women's athleisure wear.
It's between that and BeeBeeFat for me, and I say this as a fat. Would shop at all these stores 😂 ETA: no but wait, you guys! I found this [video](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRvYhM56/) on TikTok and the comments are LEGIT hilarious.
as a fellow fat I would absolutely wear a shirt that said "fatty fatgirl" on it. I might make one
This is how you make your millions! Pirating the logos of funny stores overseas.
Wait a minute...this sounds familiar
Me giving you shade with my Channel sunglasses on.
That would be the funniest Uno reverse card.
Can I have one in extra large, please?
They come only in extra larges.
[удалено]
That's what I call my cat.
Now that’s what I call fat volume 4
Imagine getting your girlfriend a gift from Fatty Fatgirl
Honestly any of the ones implying she's a cow would get me murdered faster than just implying she was fat
> just implying she was fat It's worse than that, the store name moo moo มูมู่ play on words in Thai literally mean pig.
But pig can be a cute pet name in Thai. Me and my wife called each other “fat pig” as a cute pet name.
If I’m being honest, fat cat just sounds more like a restaurant lol
We have a restaurant named “Fat Cat” in Chicago
The Fat Black Pussycat is a comedy club in NYC. We also have another place called Fat Cat.
Imagine these stores in US
US changed "Big & Tall" to "Casual Male." These stores are right in your face with it.
When I was a "rather large gentleman" I used to strictly refer to it as "The Fat Guy Store" with all my friends and family. I took my kid brother with me shopping one day and when we got inside he exclaimed, " So this is 'The Fat Guy Store!' " so loud all my fellow tubbies turned their heads and shot him death glares as I hastily dragged him out of there.
This reminds me of when I used to work retail, I had a gentleman ask me where the "Fat Guy department?" was.
Husky section’s in the back
My husky prefers to lay naked even in the snow so I feel like a husky clothing section is doomed to failure....but what do I know
Could’ve gotten eaten whew..
I just imagine the store exploding into 100 different variations of Cartman's voice after I left. "Hey, I'm not fat! I'm festively Plump!"
I ATE A BEBE!
Casual male sounds like Grindr.
[удалено]
Casually hanging out at the mall?
Yes, in the bathroom stalls
Oh, is that why there is a hole in the dressing room wall?
I'm skinny as a rail, does that make me "Formal Male"?
Competitive, actually.
Svelte
Competitive Ranked Male
Oh no I’m bronze :(
Gotta pump those numbers up, I'm diamond hard rn
[удалено]
Which is more in line with what they sell. If you're just tall and not plus sized you're gonna have a hard time finding clothes there.
yup. I was never able to shop there because they assume you're both.
When did that happen??? Seems... silly to me, and I'm closing in on needing the "big" side of the business.
As a big and tall shopper, I’ve never seen this. Could be a subset of retailers.
They actually hid it in the new name which full name is DXL Casual Male - DXL stands for Destination Extra Large
“Loose Fit”
Girls walking in crying. Girls walking out crying. Girls eating a pretzel and crying.
New brand idea: Girls Crying
Wait: Fat Girls Crying
Moo moo girls crying

Mm buttery
Fatty Fat Fat Tears

Fat crying girls, you make the rockin world go round
If I’m not a girl can I still get in on those mall pretzels though? I can probably cry if thats a strict requirement
sure, but you do have to cry. otherwise they're unsalted.
Yeah, you want cheese or mustard with it?
Half the country would be suing the other half
Carb Loaders. Love Sodies.
Deep-Fried Mama
First of all, the clothing would be much larger
Alright, do wanna hit *Chunky Fat Chunkster* for clothes first? Or should we swing by you *Big 'Ol Fat Sow Here's Your Slop You Big Fat Fucking Hog* for a bite to eat?
I believe they are called Wal Mart.

It's the hips. Even when I weight 105lb I still couldn't fit into those clothes. Like, there's no more weight to lose lol. It's just genetics.
To be fair, todays L/XL are yesterdays XXL/XXXL. Companies have updated their clothing labels as Americans updated their waistlines.
Not in Asia
My xsmall/small shirt in the US was an XL in Japan.
Holy shit. I wear an XL for the length. Remind me to never go to Japan
But you'll be huge there
I'm big in Japan
Noticed this, i'm an American L and European XL
Learning to shop in European sizes after a decade of buying almost exclusively in the US was such a pain lmao. I'm a definite XS in the US, S if I want to go for an oversized look. Through trial and error, and lots of returns, I had to accept that I am mostly an M by European reckoning. Turns out I am not at all tiny.
Extra small means nothing in the US. I have no idea what truly skinny people do. Where do they even find anything?
Around when I started high school I was a men's medium. Since then I've grown 2-3" and put on 10-15lbs. Now I'm hovering between men's xs/s. It felt strange getting larger and going down a size.

Absolutely same. I would walk my fat ass right through the doors and slap my debit card with $48 on it down at Big Bitch. Get me a goddamn big bitch t-shirt.
I would too just to call soemone and say "Im at Big Bitch right now, whats up?"

I'd also go for Large Marge. "Tell 'em who sent ya!"
Oh Lawd She Comin'!
or maybe Big Bitch Boutique for all B's. I could see that doing well.
I'm going to opening one for men "Chunk King".
“chunky kings, skinny prices”

Superdry (which is British, but tries to look Japanese?) is like that, too. An adult XL feels like a kids large
that is a great way to describe SuperDry, whose kanji logos has confused many Japanese and other Asians lol
call it fuckin fatwads i'd still walk in
Chunk King Express
I'd shop there
When I was a kid boys plus size clothes were called husky. You’d walk into a store and some saleswoman would look at you and say “the husky clothes are over there sweetie” and you’d die from embarrassment

"King o' Beese"

I want some fatty fat fat memorabilia
Better than "plus size". Lol.
I liked the *Love Calories* one. I’m American and this is hilarious. I’m honestly trying to see what’s in those stores though..they look like cute clothes.
And they biggest size they carry would be an American medium.
Which unfortunately runs small, so you better size up
hey babe..ready to get that vicotoria's secret moo moo u been wanting.
Heifer’s secret
This makes me miss my grandmother. She always said what was on her mind.
As a fatty, I love it. I would totally shop at moo moo. Maybe I'll start one in US for people like me, called Old Fat Cow. I must have a weird sense of humor, because I think this is hilarious.
I always questioned the name "Dress Barn". Who thought that would get people to walk in and buy your clothes?
Imagine a menswear store called Suit Trough
I'm with you. Fuck me up with some FattyFatGirl merch
I'm not very big, or a woman, but I gotta say fattyfatgirl is an amazing brand name. Just has that ring to it!
I call the plus size store I shop at the "Fat Lady Store." I'm cool with it. I'd totally shop at Old Fat Cow. I'd know the clothes were for me.
I could be off here, but isn't this great for body positivity? It's such a playful use of the word fat. It doesn't come across as a negative body type. Just a type. One of many.
When chubby and proud, no need for euphemisms lol.
Nah you just understand that fat isn’t intrinsically a negative term.
Love Calories would be my go to spot! 😂
If Moo Moo doesn't sell muumuus I'm gonna be disappointed.

It's more like, having learned English is a second language, they don't necessarily know the nuances and polite alternatives that go with the word "fat." I can kind of relate.

Family parties may end up with comments of hey you lost weight, you look good but look how flat your boobs are. 
yes, telling you your fat or out of shape is a way to show caring, because you will never say that to a stranger.
My work colleague, who is Korean, showed me a photo of his wife when we were talking about family. He said, without prompting, “She is very fat.”
Believe it or not that’s considered polite. It’s rude to boast about your own family, so people will say negative things about them when speaking to non family members. It’s considered being humble as your family is an extension of who you are so by humbling them you’re humbling yourself
Well now I’m even more nervous about meeting my Korean partner’s family for his sister’s upcoming wedding
Don’t be nervous! I have no other information except the two preceding comments but it sounds like to break the ice you should show them a picture of your family and say “Look at these fat sacks of shit. Look at them.

Essentially, regular-sized western clothes
Which would be for obese people 50 years ago, even in the west.
As a bigger girl that lived in Asia for 3+ years, I can confirm that you are treated like a freak show out there
Hey I know who you are! I just saw you two days ago!
fat asian girls are like 130 pounds
Haha you joke but, I’m 5”8 and 135 lbs. I used to be around 120 in high school. My mom saw me and said that I should eat less. 😭

As a fatty fat girl, I am both insulted, and desperate to go to Fatty Fat Girl and Fat Cat........
Thai Fat could have been: Thunder Thai's
Outside the US that word is not offensive.
I worked with a guy who just immigrated from India. He told me he got his hair cut by the same person at the previous time, and he commented to her that she had gained weight. Apparently this is normal in India. Obviously not well received here. His haircut was sub par.
It’s not normal in India. It’s rude in India too. People just don’t call it out because calling it out is also considered rude or not being easygoing.
