Nah, there's an even better way to deal w/ those kinds of comments instead of just ignoring it or not letting it get to you.
If anyone ever called me fat/overweight, including myself for the purpose of a story(if I just say I'm fat I immediately get from my friends no you're not and I'm like I'm just trying to tell a story)...anyway here's what you say/do:
You know what, you're right. The truth is...
*break into dance that involves butt-shaking*
Sing: I have a big butt and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny!
Best way to handle the situation. You end up feeling better, and if the person who's trying to be mean or condescending sees it doesn't bother you or make a dent, there purpose of saying anything will be gone.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
