    I am Canadian but as a child I grew up in the U.S. Some of the boys nicknamed me "Canadian Bacon" and would oink whenever I got on the school bus.

    Kids are cruel.

    Also, although it wasn't calling me a name, one time my sister-in-law lost a substantial amount of weight. She brought me her "fat" clothes and told me "maybe" I could fit in to some of them. (I am 7" taller than her). By the way....she gained all the weight back a year later!

    I've never really been called names as such, but I was devastated about a year ago. I was trying a jacket on in a store, and it was the biggest size they had (a UK 20). I had already decided it didn't suit me, when this other customer came over, and said to me 'I hope you don't mind me saying, dear, but you really need to go up a size - or lose some weight. You 'could' be such a nice looking person. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it' - yeah, cos I hadn't actually noticed myself! Even worse, I had actually been thinking I DID look pretty good that day, and had been feeling really happy, so I was horrified.

    I get told often that I'm "such a large girl" or "wow you're a big one aren't you!" all part and parcel of being 6 feet I guess. I think the worst things I've been called are "man hands" or "Manranda", it certainly didn't feel nice to be told that I am mannish. (high school girls can be such b*tches)

    With the weight loss I haven't been getting any negative comments though which is nice, I think my favourite complimentary comment so far has been "how is it possible that EVERY dress we have looks good on you?" hooray for an hourglass figure!

    My little sister was tall and strong. She used to pick me up and carry me around. One of my friends started calling her the amazon after she body slammed him one day. Tall and strong women are intimidating. Don't let it bother you. My little brother is over 6 ft. I'm the runt.

    i cant say that i have names exactly.....i have situations lol........for example.....i was walking one day(this was a few years ago).....somebody yelled out and told me "to get my fat *kitten* back in the house"..... and also one time i was at a gathering and this lady said "let me get to the table and get my food before this fat boy eats it all"....people are so hurtful sometimes.

    I get it more from my family than people on the street. I'm pretty good at not drawing attention to myself, keeping invisible.

    I loved my grandma more than anything, and the last thing she said to me before she passed away was a comment about how fat I was.

    My older brother the other day: "Have you never heard of eating a salad? I bet you haven't eaten one in your entire life."

    Mother: "Get in the car, gorda (translation is "fat one/fat girl"). OMG look at your stomach. Get to a gym."

    And they'll say other stuff in Spanish that roughly translates to "fatty," "lard" and "pig."
