Disclaimer: I write this post after having just eaten a chocolate chip muffin at night so I'd better watch my ass and make sure I'm not the potbelly calling the gut black.
A friend of mine and I have recently been thinking a lot about that cursed region of body fat that certain overweight people have. The region that extends from right directly above the genitals upwards, rather than above the belt. It's as if the fat is eager to get a start on ruining the person's self-esteem and so it begins downtown instead of midtown.
All of us know what it is an certainly all of us have stared in amazement at one bulging from a person's pants and thought to ourselves, "how the hell does that happen?" or "what the hell is that thing" or "certainly his junk isn't that big". We've all taken note of it, but not all of us are perhaps aware that it has a name. It's a F.U.PA., an acronym in which the components are debatable. To some people, it's a fat upper pubic or a fat upper pelvis area, though it's generally understood that the acronym stands for "fat upper pu**y" area. The latter designation, though certainly the most common understanding may be something of a misnomer because as we all know, men are perfectly capable of bearing the curse of ham, or pork or fried ice cream and themselves have a fupa.
It's just really strange to me becuase until recently, I'd never really pondered the fupa. I never quite understood how it works. Afterall, most fat people we see, most depictions of fat folks as well, their guts are hanging out above the bet. Even if they cascade over the waistline of a pair of pants or trousers, fupas are guts usually don't get their start south of the border.
My friend and I spent time trying to figure out how it worked. Was it something like a snowman configuration, a seperate deposit of fat around the genitals or one contiguous region of fat. This was something of a scientific debate and since neither of us have fupas (yet, at least) we couldn't quite have any evidence of how it works. Sure enough, I ended up finding out my answer with the above photograph, which I snapped last week. The fupa is indeed one contiguous region of fat, lard, lipids, whatever you want to call it.
Although having a fupa is probably considered by most to be more shameful than a simple gut, can we really assume that it's a person's fault that his or her fat begins below the belt and gives them the dimensions of humpty dumpty? Could it be that a person with an overhanging gut just eats a little less than a person with a pants bursting fupa? Or could it just be genetics. Maybe the fupa is just the result of a"> curse of genes that makes it hard to find a pair of jeans. Any thoughts?
