fatty

Like marbled steak

Fatty describes something containing or resembling fat: fatty tissue, fatty acids, fatty foods.

As a noun, fatty is an insulting term for an overweight person—childish but hurtful: Hey fatty, want another donut?

The word carries a mocking, playground quality that makes it particularly demeaning.
