Ladies, the next time someone says you’re fat, say “No, I’m just ‘zaftig‘.”
See if that word throws the person off his/her feet if your gut instinct to deliver a punch in the face hasn’t already done so. heh.
The word “zaftig” (pronounced: zahf-tig) is an adjective meaning having a full rounded figure or pleasingly plump. So from now on, I shall go around saying I’m a “zaftig beauty”. Haha.
I’ve always thought I was born in the wrong century. I should have been born in the Renaissance period or something–where womanly curves were adored, being zaftig was the fashion, and the Rubenesque woman worshipped. I would have been the rage of the season. ;p
I need a time travel machine!!!
