I looked up a dictionary to find some words which include the kanjis for Heisigs fat & obese - trying to know the difference.

well, looking for word which contain "fat" I found this kanjii and did not want to believe what I saw:

雲脂

rain + fat = dandruff

OMG
how gross is that! :-o

btw: many many kanjis are a combination of fat and obese such as :
脂肪心 しぼうしん fatty heart

I'm not really sure the point of your thread, but it made me laugh xDD rain-fat huh? lol

I'm guessing I'm not as far as you are in the book, so sorry I'm no help.

I would probably look at 脂 in those sorts of words as being more in the sense of 'biological resin'...

cloud biological resin

脂肪 is the normal word for "fat" (as a noun, not an adjective), so you will find many words with "combination of fat and obese".

雲脂

You mean cloud + fat?

Cloud kinda makes sense Something fluffy and white + oil that hair produces, and you get dandruff!

hehe, 'cloud of dried resin (sebaceous gland stuff)', or secreted and hardened rheum or mucus or adipose tissue or whatever...

For me the keyword "fat" has the connotation of a well-marbled steak,



while "obese" more calls to mind someone who'd have to ride this:



Never had a problem confusing the two.

Now just drag and drop the steak into the chair...

lolololol tried it for fun. Afterwards pondered whether I should perhaps have drag and dropped it into the drivers seat instead of the trolley part.

If you put the steak in the basket, be sure to put an actual obese person in the seat. The giant steak is their dinner

(...not trying to offend anyone, just couldn't help it)

This thread got weird. Or was it already weird...

apologies to everyone:

yes, it is cloud, not rain.

now i can remember it even better. ... the fat-cloud covering the communter's shoulders next to me in the train, his head between the cloud like the top of fuji-san whatever ....
:-p

very weird indeed.
