85. "Slob" doesn't refer to weight -- it refers to messiness. And the word "father" isn't a slur.

Go ahead and object to the term if it bothers you. However, some people consider it a compliment. Trump might even like it.

In fantasy football a SlobFather is someone who can’t be beat. They draft exquisitely, the get the better of all trades and are masters of the waiver wire.
Don’t put in a lineup, why bother? You ain’t got a chance, against the SlobFather!!!

On the other hand, dozens of DUers have expressed their dismay with a woman being referred to as a cow.
