a compliment given to overweight
people. basically, it means "you might actually pass for pretty if you lost some weight". overly trying to take emphesis off the body and make someone feel good about
SOMETHING. origanally meant as a compliment, but now sort of a putdown because most
people know it means the person saying it thinks you're fat.
