A vintage cartoon of two boys and a man. One of the boys is fat and says, “Whew! That’s over! But I’m as weak as a cat!” The adult wearing a red T-shirt with a yellow letter T on it says, “Have a Tootsie Roll, Fatso! It will give you added energy, quick!”
What if Fatso stops eating Tootsie Rolls and goes on a diet or ozempic? Will he still be Fatso?
By the rules of the day, he would be renamed to Slim
And it would then be unwise to mess around with him. A lesson Jim learned the hard way.
Will he stand up though?
Depends on how deeply he believes in nominative determinism.
