Urban Dictionary word of the day:
Janky: (adjective) inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and dilapidated; refers almost exclusively to inanimate material objects, not to people.We tried to pick up on these girls waiting for the bus, but I was driving my sister's janky 1989 geo metro so we just got clowned instead.

I work at a sporting clothing call center/store and a man called in asking if we carry original cargo shorts in a size 58 waist (mind you, these shorts have a 4” inseam, which is measured from the crotch to the end of the shorts). Yes, you read correctly, a size 58 waist. I then proceeded to let him know we are no longer making extended sizes and would only be offering sizes 30-46 even. The customer then said “Well I’m not going to lose weight just so I can fit into your shorts!” My next thought was, why don’t you lose weight for your health? I really don’t understand people in America. When you are a size 58 and feel it is ok, then there is something wrong. Don’t people realize what better quality of life they would have if they just lose the weight? I also just had a fitness test done for one of my classes. One of the women in the class with me weighed only 115lbs, but had a body fat percentage of 39%!!! My only thought was HOLY MOLY! She looked great, very skinny, but knowing she had that high of a body fat percentage was ridiculous. 20-25% is considered healthy for females. Anything above or below if considered unhealthy. So the message I would like to leave everyone with is, it doesn’t matter how much you weigh, or how big your thighs are, it’s your body composition (how much of your weight is fat and how much is lean muscle) that matters!
P.S: it is much healthier to be apple shaped (most of your weight below the waist) than to be pear shaped (most of your weight in your mid section), because abdominal fat will squeeze abdominal organs and fat there also enters the blood stream a lot easier causing a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes. So if you’ve got a booty and hips…rock on!
