“Debu” may not be considered nice, but most people don’t consider “fat” nice, so they end up using codewords like “bbw”, “curvy”, “plump”, “heavy”, etc in place of “fat”. As a result, I fell in love with the word “debu”, and had to have it for my SN on LJ. ^_^ I’m trying to get in the habit of watermarking my pics with it. I’m a proud Debu-chan! (Well, in the sense of I see no sense in being ashamed or hating my looks. I do hate the health problems. **emo frown**)

I was Google-ing the word “debu”, and bumped to this site..
and hey Debu-chan, I used to be a Debu too.. as for me its nothing to be ashamed, maybe because I’m no one but foreigner? so its not a big deal for me.. anyway i’m not a Debu anymore

I guess for a woman there’s always DaiBiJin as well. I am curious as to how the hell this word got in the Japanese vocabulary. The fact it is spelled in katakana would suggest it came from a foreign word, but what word that sounds like “deb” means fat? Americans have a “deb” term in street slang that is short for debutante, and I suppose perhaps Japanese saw American debutantes as decadent chublings.
One of the reasons it always catches my ear is that one of my high school crushes was a chubby gal named Debbie. It must be really odd to be a fat girl named Debbie and travel in Japan, like, “How the hell do they all know my name??!!!”
