What does "voluptuous" suggest to you.

Do you just think "fat" or do you think something else?

Something someone said to me has made me wonder.

Thank you. It seems not everyone agrees with the other party's opinion.

I wondered if it was just me.

In all honesty it depends who is using the word as to how I interpret it, based on previous use I have encountered:

A guy using it to describe a woman - I imagine it to mean someone who is generously stacked in all the right (and only the right) places.

A woman using it to describe herself - I just take it to mean a fat bird.

I use it in its archaic sense. It means a strong woman.

A virago is a woman who demonstrates exemplary and heroic qualities. The word comes from the Latin word vir, meaning 'man' (cf. virile) to which the suffix -ago is added, a suffix that effectively re-genders the word to be female.

The word virago has almost always had an association with cultural gender transgression. A virago, of whatever excellence, was still identified by her gender. There are recorded instances of viragos (such as Joan of Arc) fighting battles, wearing men's clothing, or receiving the tonsure.[1] The word virago could also be used disparagingly, to imply that a virago was not excellent or heroic, but was instead violating cultural norms. Thus virago joined pejoratives such as termagant,[2] 'mannish', 'amazonian' and shrew to demean women who acted aggressively or like men

That, to me, suggests rolls rather than curves. I equate Reubenesque with fat.

If we see it used on here, we often think fat. Just as with average, or curvy, these are often used as euphemisms for fat on sites like this.

Outside of such sites, words such as voluptuous or Rubenesque, when being used accurately, do not cause us to think fat.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I think of full, unrestrained and pleasurable.

Virago will always conjure up the feminist publishers started by Carmen Callil in the 70s. I didn't know the word before reading a book published by them in the late 70s.

A friend has always said volumptuous and that's the word we use my little group and one that I feel better describes my fatness.

It does come from the Latin for full of pleasure and that does fit with how she was presented to us by the media.
