thin privilege

In theory, this is the "privilege" that thin people earn for being thin, including not being perceived as lazy, lower healthcare costs, increased likelihood of finding a sexually attractive partner, increased earnings potential, and more. While all of the preceding examples may be true, it misconstrues the definition of privilege. Privileges are given, not earned, and the recipients and those without them can do nothing to change them. White privilege is a good example of that; either you're born white or you're not. Thin privilege, on the other hand, is often worked for by people who would otherwise be fat but instead eat right and exercise. Therefore, thin privilege doesn't actually exist.
Doctor: Ms. BBW, I'm afraid that if you don't start working out regularly and cutting down the saturated fat very soon, you'll likely be dead before you're fifty.
Fat girl: What? How dare you say that?!! THIN PRIVILEGE RACIST!!! There's nothing I can do about it, this is my body type! *Wolfs down a Big Mac.*
Doctor: How did you get a hamburger in here? Nevermind; did you know that about 100 years ago, obesity was very rare? Fast forward three or four generations. People live increasingly sedentary lifestyles, eat more, and the food they eat is higher in fat, cholesterol, and sodium. You're saying this is all a coincidence?
Fat girl: What do you know about science and medicine? I have a random article that proves I'm right! YOU CAN'T HANDLE MUH CURVES!!!

thin whistler 

Also known as a "silent but deadly". The Thin Whistler is the hot, stingy flatulence that usually occurs after a spicy meal. It is “thin” as a result of the straw size diameter your anus achieves while evacuating the “whistle” of fresh, hellish, doom. The Thin Whistler is especially unique because of its reputation for lingering in the room that it was deployed in. Wallpaper has been know to curl off the walls whilst innocent flowers frown.
My anus just melted from the sheer heat that came off that thin whistler.

Josh: Nah dude, don't mean to disappoint you, but check the angle of the shot- taken from up-high and to the left... total fatty using thin angle photography to hide the mass. Her face ain't bad though.
