My mom just emailed my gay brother, The Professor, and myself:
“What/Who are fats and fems???”
I responded with:
“In personal ads in newspapers and online, less sensitive people would ask that “no fats or fems” respond to their article. “Fats” are persons with weight issues, “fems” are the more flamboyant type of homosexual. It’s a sexist/body fascist remark that really defines the user’s intelligence.
In our family, I’m the fat, Dan is the fem.”
My asthmatic brother replied:
“I’m the phlegm!”
My less than busty sister replied:
“I’m the flat.”

I haven’t yet seen a personals ad which states ‘no fats, fems, flats or phlegms’ Are people really getting that picky?
Has that helped your mother out at all though?
So I see where you get your sense of humour from! Made me giggle!
