Oh, also?
Another thing I love about living in New York? Catching out-of-context clips of people's conversations as I walk past them on the sidewalk. Tonight as I walked down 50th Street toward the subway on my way home from work, I passed a guy who was whoa!chatty with his friends, but all I caught was, "You know what I was thinking in my head?"
And then, as I crossed the street to my block, I passed a woman who was yikes!chatty with her friends, and what I caught was, "I mean, she was chubby, chubby all over, but she wasn't fat."
You know what I was thinking in my head?
As someone who can easily be described as chubby, chubby all over, I was thinking in my head, Isn't chubby all over the very definition of fat?
And then I started thinking in my head about what the differences are between just chubby, chubby all over, and fat. And then I wanted to hit myself over the head (the one in which I think things) with something blunt, so I stopped.
