STORY/RANT used to use hammy peer as a unit of size/weight My best friend and I grew up in the pre-stages of the HAES movement, and were both (unsuccessfully) taught "fat" was considered the other "f" word - but that never stopped us from hating on them fatties. In 6th grade we were sitting in class when our teacher made the big announcement that we were going to have a new classmate. She called it a gina. Gina was a monstrous ogre, like nothing we had ever seen before. From its gnarly maw, to it's beetus feet we were in complete and utter disgust of all +300 lbs it must've weighed. Everyday our teacher would assign us a short creative-writing assignment as a warm up for class. My friend and I would take these opportunities to relieve some of the horrors we had to go through from having to be in the vicinity of this foul creature. We thought it was our duty to raise awareness about good hygiene, to the very obviously clueless, fart-sucking cow that hardly washed it's hair on a monthly basis, so we took it upon ourselves to write stories about people who would die horrible, lonely, painful deaths from eating too much and not showering. We would happily share the stories in front of class, and I've always wondered if the fatty ever caught on. Needless to say, the gina forever scarred us. To this day we still use gina as a unit of measurement. Not that we don't love to say "fat fucks" (hint: we do), but when we reeeeaaallyy want to emphasize how fat something is, we always say "damn that truck must weigh THREE ginas!" Have any of you had a gina in their lives/utilized the flesh blobs as a way to help you explain how large/fat/disgusting something is?
