fatso

Unkind weight taunt

Fatso is a derogatory term for a fat person, used as an insult or cruel nickname: Hey fatso, why don't you skip dessert?

The word is playground-level mean—deliberately hurtful but unsophisticated.

Occasionally used self-deprecatingly or affectionately among close friends.
