    Used most commonly in teen magazines as a euphemism for fat or chubby. It works brilliantly as a marketing ploy for these companies, and it keeps from damaging the self-esteem of their overweight American adolescent consumers.

    Curvy, in the traditional sense, means having an ample bosom, trim waist, and round butt.

      it used to be used to define an attractive, healthy womans figure, which was an hourglass shape and good shoulders, now it is used to describe fat women. magazines wrongly use the word curvy to try and make fat gals feel better about not being called fat, but hey, isnt it just as rude to call someone skinny as it is to call someone fat? they want slim girls to say omigod! and head for the pies and lard so everyone will look big and that way,they think nobody will be jealous. big women dont see that slagging off slim women wont make themselves any prettier. take a hint

          a word people sometimes use to describe fat girls,
          in turn causing those ones with truly good, curvy figures
          to believe they ,too, are fat.

            A euphamism for fat. Curvy used to describe women who had large breasts, a small waist, and a big, shapely butt.
            Now, the media is pressuring young girls and women to look like Scarlett Johansson or Angelina Jolie. If you have naturally small breasts, dont have a tiny waist, or particularly shapely hips, youre labelled as anorexic or not a real woman. This same media claims to support loving yourself, but if yourself hasnt got a perfect hourglass figure, then youre done for. Hypocrisy knows no bounds, right?

              A woman with a shapely figure, generally well-defined waist, and fairly large butt and boobs compared to the rest of her body. Unlike what some people try to say, curvy is not synonymous with fat. A curvy woman has some meat on her bones, but is still physically fit and doesnt have a muffin top spilling out of her pants.

                Despite popular belief, curvy does NOT mean fat. Curvy is an hour-glass figure; large breasts, hips, and butt with a comparatively small waist.

                    Word used to describe chubbier women, the word is used incorrectly to make larger people feel better about their unhealthy bodies. They often use newspaper articles such as Curvy is the new skinny and Real girls have curves So if you are skinny the curvy girls boast about boys preffering curves and something to grab hold of- what?

                      The word curvy should be used to describe a woman with large breasts, a small waist, and a full bottom. REAL curvy women are Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson, and Marilyn Monroe.
                      HOWEVER, in teen magazines like Seventeen and Cosmo Girl, curvy is used as a synonym for fat, so that fat girls feel better about their figures.
