I thought it was more a term of endearment like Fatty Vautin, Fat Sam etc.

Lampard used to be known as Fat Frank. Stupid really when he's one of the GOAT PL midfielders.

Fat Frank has been a derogatory nickname for 15 years.

And considering he isnt fat its a real weird one.

 

[glenferry23]

Even if intended in an ‘endearing’ way, I haven’t really come across too many people in life who have enjoyed being referred to as fat or variations of fat.

It is silly, must say I am guilty of it in the past. Time to move on from it me thinks.

Yes I did in response to someone else using it. It was silly, I edited my post and removed it.

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson today old sport. What seemed to some as some kind of mildly amusing, albeit childish, name calling has been exposed for what it is: calculated fat shaming and vindictive dysphemism. Heretofore, I will no longer use potentially hurtful names, that admittedly were NOT ok. I will no longer say things like: that owl faced f**k for Hodgsen or ol' bacon face for Fergie. Fat Frank, Fats, Big Fat Frank, Tubby Frank, Tubs, Porko etc are all finished for me. Full christian names only.

Is this a melt?

It's a melting of bad behaviour, is what it is.

 

[jod23]

I don't think Klopp usually get into the managerial psych out stuff but he seems to be getting in Fatty's head for some reason.

Could just be that Fat's under enormous pressure having to manage expectations now tho.

"Fat's"

What's this obsession with the Fatty nickname out of nowhere lol, is this high school?

Yeah because Steven Gerrard is always referred to as Steven Gerrard on these forums...

Well no that's because he had a mare and it was funny, the lampard one sprang up in the last few pages out of nothing. Historically yes its a nickname he's had but sounded like a few childish pool fans upset that he made their manager sad.

Dont buy that one mate. If Fat Frank is childish then so is Slippy G.

You can call him fat or whatever
you like. Its just weird as he isnt fat. Whats the origins?

Its not really offence, kind of like calling Gerrard slippy.

I guess its a bit different as Steve said it doesnt slip from here and next minute he slips to maybe cost you the league.

What is the origins of fat frank?

He used to be tubby in his early days. He got the weight off though but that's where is originates from.

 

[jod23]

End of the day they are both derogatory childish nicknames to two of the greatest midfielders you will ever lay eyes on.

 

[Indie_]

I can't quite put my finger on why, but calling Lampard 'Fat Frank' seems so childish but calling Allardyce anything other than 'Big Fat Sam' seems ludicrous.
