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??!!!" I guess for a woman there’s always DaiBiJin as well.
