Why are all you people thinking it is acceptable to talk about other people's weight? How is it any business of yours?
Calling a person "chubby", "fat", "obese" "scrawny", "emaciated", or any of a number of other descriptors is rude and insulting. Whoever you're talking about already knows they are overweight, underweight, or have some other physical characteristic. I really don't understand why it is even being considered a reasonable topic of conversation.
And to the person who claims "chubby" is being used in a scientific way, even you must realize what a ridiculous claim that is. A scientific description might be "he weighs 235 pounds" or "his body mass index is 30.5", or even "he appears to be 15% overweight". If you're the person's doctor it's fine to say any of these things to him. If you're engaged in casual conversation, don't call him chubby and then pretend you're not insulting him. Nobody, literally nobody, believes that, yourself included.

everything is a reasonable topic of conversation. if a fat person doesn't like being described as fat or chubby or something like that, then they should stop being fat.
I am with the OP, I would not think "chubby" is in any sort of way a compliment. Chubby makes me think of puffy or fat and not be a descriptor for a guy who was large, but also strong, or muscular, or something which would be a positive.
Basically if people are calling you chubby then it's time to cut back on the sweets. You may not be obese. You may not even be fat. But you are headed that way

The funny thing is, my face and upper body is very chubby, yet my lower body is quite muscular. So, calling me partly chubby sounds better .
