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.
