A vulgar, derogatory term for an overweight person, typically directed as an insult.
A vulgar, derogatory term for an overweight person, typically directed as an insult. It combines 'lard' (rendered animal fat) with 'butt' (buttocks), targeting body size in a crude, juvenile way. Commonly heard in schoolyard taunts and low-brow comedy, it carries the same weight as similar compound insults. Not acceptable in polite contexts and widely considered body-shaming language. Usage has declined as awareness around weight-based discrimination has grown.
The kids on the playground called him a lardbutt, which hurt him more than he let on.

A crude and derogatory insult aimed at fat people — blunt, mean, and designed to humiliate. It's the kind of word thrown in schoolyard fights or typed in anonymous online abuse rather than anything with wit or invention behind it. Body-shaming slurs like this cause real harm and reflect badly on the person using them. Worth documenting as a known slur; not worth celebrating.
Lardboy is blunt, ungenerous slang for an overweight person — the kind of schoolyard insult that hasn't aged well but still surfaces in low-effort online trolling. It stacks 'lard' (rendered animal fat) with 'boy' to make a compound that weaponises body shape as the whole personality. File it under words that reveal more about the speaker than the target.
