fatter
Less lean now
Fatter is the comparative form of fat, describing someone or something with more body mass or bulk than another.
It applies to people, animals, and objects: The fatter of the two cats got stuck in the pet door.
Like fat itself, fatter can carry negative connotations when applied to people, though context determines whether it's merely descriptive or unkind.
It also extends to non-physical uses: a fatter wallet, a fatter profit margin.
