Definitions
A harsh American dialect insult, primarily from Southern or rural speech, targeting someone perceived as obese or excessively corpulent. The term is deliberately unpleasant in its imagery, combining bodily disgust with a physical description. It belongs to the tradition of vivid, cruel American vernacular insults and would today be considered body-shaming. Rarely used in polite modern conversation but documented in regional dialect records.
The old ranch hand dismissed the city official as a pus-gutted bureaucrat who'd never done a day's hard work.

- guttocks63%
Slang for a FUPA (Fat Upper Pubic Area) or 'front bum' — the soft, padded area of the lower abdomen that extends over the pubic region. The term blends 'gut' and 'buttocks' to coin a word for what sits somewhere between both. It's used in body-humor conversations, sometimes self-deprecatingly and sometimes as straight-up crude commentary. Not a term for the workplace, but one that definitely circulates in casual chat.
- lardbutt63%
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.
- fatassed63%
A vulgar informal compound adjective meaning having a large buttocks or being obese, used as a crude intensifier or insult. The term is blunt and deliberately coarse, typically used in anger or to demean. Not appropriate in polite contexts.
- asscunt63%
A vulgar anatomical slang term for the anus, primarily used in North American English. The term combines two highly offensive words into a compound that functions as a crude descriptor rather than as a standalone insult. Typically confined to extremely informal, adult-only contexts. Its use is almost always in coarse humor or shock-value speech. Not widely used as a genuine descriptor — more often encountered in crude jokes or explicit content.
