fat

Approximately three minutes into our shift, MH used the phrase 'elbow fat' to say that DK had pinched the skin over her elbow.

The entire rest of the shift was basically a long conversation about elbow fat and how fat someone's elbows could possibly be and what else you could call that extra skin on your elbows and had anyone else ever heard or used the phrase elbow fat and isn't that the funniest thing you've ever heard? Elbow fat is, I guess, our new thing.

Many hours later, EW, one of the dairy techs misheard something I said as 'I'm a walking stick.' I repeated what I had said and he said, "Oh, that makes way more sense, 'cause you're definitely not a walking stick!" As is my usual (joking) response to such things, I said, "Are you calling me fat?"

He said yes.

In better news for my self-confidence, MH told me that two of the filler operators had distinguished me from another lab tech with the same first name by calling me "the cute one...not the one with all the kids." Personally, I think the one with all the kids (two, by the way) is pretty darn cute, but what do I know?
