Petition for additional listing of BODACIOUS in Dictionary
Target:
To Everyone
Sponsored by:
For years Plus Size women have been discriminated against. There is constant bombardment from the media and the fashion industry to be stick thin. BODacious Inc. is trying to change society's perception of full figured people. The plus size community is not ugly, lazy or stupid; as what is portrayed by today's media. Our goal is to change the view of the world about our under represented plus size community.
Our first step in doing this is attempting to put an additional meaning of the word bodacious in the Webster's dictionary. We believe full figured people should have size positive words that represent them instead of the negativity that surrounds the community today.
This petition stands up for plus size rights by encouraging a positive spin in describing a fat person. If you would like to support our cause, please sign this petition, because it's not only our petition, it's yours.
Petition for an additional meaning of bodacious to be listed officially in the US Merriam Webster dictionary as a descriptive word for 'sexy fuller-figured person'.
We would like to include an additional definition of "bodacious" to be listed as a descriptive word. The adjectives sexy and voluptuous are there but voluptuous just means full. Where is fat or fuller figured? Bodacious means and represents the sexy fuller-figured person, man or woman, and this definition should be added to the dictionary.
Word: bodacious
Function: adjective
Etymology: probably blend of bold and audacious
Date: 1832
In the dictionary bodacious means;
1. Remarkable; prodigious.
2. Audacious; gutsy.
adv.
1. Completely; extremely.
2. Audaciously; boldly sexy and voluptuous
We wish to include:
1. Descriptive of a sexy, full-figured person; or something of that nature.
So please sign your name and be counted and let's hit our mark and try to make it official.
Thank you for your anticipated support,

The word bodacious is not currently in the dictionary as a descriptive noun. Yeah, the adjectives sexy and voluptuous are but voluptuous just means full. Where is fat or fuller figured? Bodacious means and represents the sexy fuller-figured person, man or woman, and this definition should be added to the dictionary.

It is good to see that discrimination is coming to a close. We, as a people, should accept the diversities of size, interests and personalities (of a positive aspect). I, for one, have been called "wiered through out my school years. If "I" am wiered, then that makes them some strange mothafukas.

I'm 5' almost 160 lbs. I'm not lazy, I don't over eat or have an unhealthy diet. I'm naturally built this way, and it would take starving myself and constant exercise to be society's standards of skinny and beautiful. I have had everyone from family, friends to doctors and teachers tell me if I were to lose 20 lbs I would be gorgeous. I think I'm beautiful the way I am. It's time to allow other women and men like me to not be ashamed of themselves.

All my life I have been made fun of due to the fact that I'm full figured.For the record I'm not some couch potatoe who sits around all day. I am a proud single mom who loves to run around after her two kids and play football with the neighbor hood kids I have always been curvy and it saddens me to see women go through so much trying to be what the media tells them is acceptable. I for one would like to say that u can be full figured and healthy. I will never understand how anyone can perceive a woman who resembles a twig to be beautiful.

I never knew there was such a following for BBW until I had heard of being Bodacious. It was a life changing realization and I firmly believe it should be official so more woman can feel great about themselves.

I am tired of settling for less because most men feel embarrassed to be with plus sized women. I want a change! Black people had to fight to make a difference and get equal rights. So this should be similar.

I totally agree with what Bodacious is doing. Women are beautiful where they are big, small, whatever. All they need to know is they are beautiful and show it. Don't worry about what other people say. Love you for you!
