Yo momma's so fat, she went into KFC and asked for the bucket on top.

Yes, fat jokes are back! Big back.

Interestingly enough, Lizzo has lost a bunch of weight — sort of an Adele situation — so she might not be the proper butt of our fat jokes anymore.

Here's WaPo in a real article published Wednesday:

Cindy Noir, 30, scrolled through TikTok. Videos of thin people calling themselves a 'big back' or taking a 'fat Sunday' piled up. Some creators donned fat suits, others used the new terms to make self-deprecatory comments about their food choices.

The trend was disappointing but not surprising. 'Fatphobia never went away,' Noir says. 'But people who were fatphobic and quiet now feel emboldened to be loud.'

Okay, guys, act serious. WaPo is not messing around here and this is a serious subject. Let's hear what it was like for Cindy when she subbed at a school down in Atlanta.

As weight-loss drugs whittle down body diversity and brazen language reappears, fat jokes reminiscent of the early 2000s are once more taking root online — especially on social media algorithms that reward transgressive content — and making the leap to real life ...

Kids called themselves a 'big back' for eating lunch. Others felt afraid to pick up a pencil off the floor for fear of being called 'big back.' Fights began in the hallways with students making the joke. At the same time, Noir noticed they seemed 'self-conscious, constantly fixing their outfit so that it doesn't hug certain parts of their body.'

Oh, the horror!!!

WaPo didn't say anything specific about "Yo Momma" jokes, but I assume they'll have an entire super-serious writeup on it sometime soon.

Until then, I'm gonna keep telling that joke about Trump trying to purchase your mom because she was swimming in the Atlantic and he thought she was Greenland.
