Is it just fat???

Or is it some kind of disorder/illness that causes the body to hang right right down at the front?

And why do some people get it?

Pictures please

NurseBernard · 20/07/2012 19:25

It's just fat, I think.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow · 20/07/2012 19:25

its their fat stomach

smoggii · 20/07/2012 19:25

I have no idea what you mean. I would regard myself as fat and have nothing hanging down near my thighs.

Proudnscary · 20/07/2012 19:25

What an uttlerly charming post Hmm

It's called a stomach

Any reason for this gratuitous-seeming question?

MsOnatopp · 20/07/2012 19:25

Isn't it just stomach fat that it too heavy and falls down? not sure what else you could be talking about...

Proudnscary · 20/07/2012 19:25

Utterly even

Anonymumous · 20/07/2012 19:26

Have you been looking at the 'fat lady' pictures on the Daily Mail website, by any chance?! Grin

iloveberries · 20/07/2012 19:26

Big fat penis

Unfortunate because he can't see or use it?

Sorry, couldnt resist...

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 20/07/2012 19:26

It's just fat. Fat is heavy and oddly enough, follows the law of gravity.

viagrafalls · 20/07/2012 19:27

I've seen this, its like this

tartyflette · 20/07/2012 19:27

I think it's called an 'apron' and yes, it's just fat. If you've ever seen the cartoon 'Family Guy' he is quite often naked in it but nothing is on show because of his gut!

I think the technical term is a "fat apron" watches too much reality tv

tartyflette · 20/07/2012 19:29

Oh Viagra OWWW - MY EYES!

Proudnscary · 20/07/2012 19:31

What is this, laugh at fatties evening?

Point of this thread please?

StrandedBear · 20/07/2012 19:31

I call it a 'gunt' a gut/cunt. But fat apron is a much description

bejeezus · 20/07/2012 19:32

No, not been looking at the D M. I saw a lady today, but I've been curious for a long time

I'm not being horrid. I'm no oil painting. I'm wondering if it is just stomach fat, or...I was thinking along the lines of ascites (?)???. Because its not necessarily the fatest people that get it.

So it is just fat? What, and very weak abdominal muscles? Or no abdominal muscles?

If you want to get technical, it is correctly called a pannus.

Ormiriathomimus · 20/07/2012 19:43

FGS! This is a bit unkind isn't it? Confused

Pinot · 20/07/2012 19:45

It's not unkind to ask a simple question.

bejeezus · 20/07/2012 19:47

Oooo..a pannus!

Im not being unkind at all orm.....I'm just curious
