Common Terms

Here are some common terms found within the fat community. I will state the terms first then the acronym and finally the definition.

Basic Terms
Fat Admirer (FA) - A male whom is attracted to fat females (or fat male if gay).
Female Fat Admirer (FFA) - A female whom is attracted to fat males (or fat females if gay).
Big, Beautiful Woman / Women (BBW) - A fat woman / women (considered "overweight" to most of society).
Big, Handsome Male / Men (BHM) - A fat man / men (considered "overweight" to most of society).
Super-Sized Big, Beautiful Woman / Women (SSBBW) - A very fat woman / women (considered "obese" to most of society).
Super-Sized Big, Handsome Male / Men (SSBHM) - A very fat man / men (considered "obese" to most of society).

There are also some more rare terms used within the community:
Big, Beautiful, Black Woman / Women (BBBW) - A fat, black woman / women (considered "overwight" to most of society).
Super-Sized Big, Beautiful, Black Woman / Women (SSBBBW) - A very fat, black woman / women (considered "obese" to most of society).
Ultra-Sized Big, Beautiful Woman / Women (USBBW) - An incredibly fat woman / women (considered "extremely obese" to most of society).

There are some terms that sometimes, though rarely, fall into the basic terms. This deals with the "Feederism" sub-community, which I will go deeper into on another blog post.

Feeder - A person whom finds it gratifying to feed their partner or another person food.
Feedee - A person whom finds it gratifying to be fed by their partner or another person with food.
Gainer - A person whom finds it gratifying to gain weight.
Encourager - A person whom encourages their partner or another person to gain weight.
Stuffer - A sub-term of "feedee" whom finds gratification in stuffing themselves (or by way of another person) with food.

One of the terms in the gay community, "chubby chaser," is not often used, especially within the fat culture. Unfortunately, I have heard people use this term outside the gay community to label regular FAs, but I just thought you'd like to know that it's not for use anywhere but the gay community. However, I haven't heard it been used at all, let alone the gay community so I don't think this term is actually in use anymore. But I'm not gay, so what do I know?

Please note that I will be going into more deeper into detail about these different terms later on in this blog, so you will have a better understanding of them. But for now, know these terms. And if I missed anything or if something is wrong, please do not hesitate to leave me a comment stating what it is.
