Overweight people can be very self-conscious. It's understandable because we tend to associate many negative traits and behaviors with obesity. Thus, overweight people tend to come up with any excuse they can to avoid the stigma of being labeled as such. It isn't that they are fat, they are just big-boned. Or maybe it's just baby fat. Maybe they have a gland disorder, a slow metabolism, or they're retaining water, or they're bloated from an allergic reaction. It has nothing to do with lack of exercise or the triple cheeseburger, bacon chili fries, and chocolate-covered strawberries that they just ate. In Real Life, many of these excuses are accurate in at least some cases, such as hypothyroidism. A form of Insistent Terminology. See also Does This Make Me Look Fat?, Hollywood Pudgy, and Fat and Proud. Not to be confused with another kind of bone. Examples |

Bill Nye the Science Guy: Deconstructed when the show did an episode about bones and muscle. One of the sketches features a Bonanza parody where Hoss tries to tell Little Joe that he's only big-boned, not fat. Little Joe comments to the audience that it doesn't actually work that way, but goes along with it for Hoss's sake, commenting that some people are very sensitive about their weight. | |

The Simpsons: Homer Simpson: In "Realty Bites": A sumo wrestler used the same excuse when called fat by Homer in "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo". He immediately thereafter steals Homer's pretzel. Homer also averted this in "Brush With Greatness" when he told Marge, "No-one gains 30 pounds of bone!" after weighing himself and Marge tried to make him feel better by invoking this trope. Comic Book Guy once had a shirt reading "I'm not fat. I'm enormous." Bart tries the "I'm big-boned" excuse at fat camp in "The Heartbroke Kid". He gets told there is no such thing and whipped. In "Radio Bart", Chief Wiggum is asked why he can't fit in a well. He replies with, "Well, I'm too f-... important." |

Naruto: Choji Akimichi, for whom being called fat is a Berserk Button. Oddly enough, it appears to actually be true, since by the time of the timeskip he's certainly not svelte, but looks more like a linebacker, suggesting that he grew into his body. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: In the Distant Prologue, Michael, who happens to be somewhat on the chubby side, starts moping after getting fired and his complaints about everything currently wrong in his life include being fat. Signe, who's trying to cheer him up, invokes this trope by telling Michael that he looks "genuinely big-boned" to her. | |

Harry Potter: The Dursleys make excuse after excuse for their overweight son Dudley, saying that he still has baby fat/is big-boned/is a growing boy right up until his school sends a letter saying they no longer have uniforms that fit him. Hagrid, who is described as being twice as tall as a normal man and five times as broad, admits to being a half-giant and asks the similarly-built Madame Maxime about her own ancestry. Madame Maxime is very offended and claims to just have big bones. Harry and Ron don't buy it for a second: |

Yin Yang Yo!: A magical mishap reduces Master Yo to an ambulatory skeleton. As the spell is reversed, the ample panda looks himself in the mirror stating "I knew it, I knew I was just big-boned." This is played with when his body is returned to normal in layers with the first being his muscular system (and presumably fatty tissue) which promptly sags as he continues "jiggly, jiggly bone." | |

Garfield: The title character does it sometimes, a few with the trope name (the page image is the response from his sarcastic bathroom scale). On January 29th, 1979, Garfield literally claimed to be big-boned. Jon called Garfield "disgustingly, slovenly, sloppy fat" and Garfield said Jon obviously had "disgustingly, slovenly, sloppy fat" confused with "big boned". On September 21st, 1979,, Garfield stated people under 6'4" aren't overweight. They're "undertall". On November 16th, 2002, a mouse used that excuse to have a hole the size of the dining table. As Garfield said about the scale on January 19th, 2008, "he can dish it out, but he sure can't take it". |

Johnny Test: In one episode, Johnny made fun of a video game vendor for being fat. He claimed it was a "glandular problem". The episode was based on the concept of karma, so when Johnny ate an experimental candy bar, it messed with his hormones and made him fat as well. In other words, he now had a glandular problem. | |

One Fat Summer: Bobby Marks never denies being overweight. He did do the research, however, and has found that it's his low basal metabolism that is to blame for him tipping the scales at 200+ pounds, not the binge snacking and laying around the house. He actually uses it as a decoration of time, translating his watch to LBM as others would AM or PM. | |

Futurama: When Amy's parents call Kif scrawny, Amy says he's just "small-boned". Kif notes that he actually has no bones. Hermes sees himself through an X-ray. Not only is he not big-boned, but if it wasn't for all that fat, his skeleton is so small that he would effectively be a dwarf. |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: A fan asked Word of God if Russia was fat, and they received an in-character answer from Russia saying exactly this. He was later shown in a shirt that said "Big Boned" and appeared to be struggling to fit it. The few instances we've seen him without his coats, he appears to be rather muscular. | |

Asterix: Obelix tends to claim this. ("I'm not fat. I'm just... well wrapped.") Calling him fat is almost a Berserk Button with him. Since most people call him by his weight and his reactions range from pouting to a brutal beating, it is usually Played for Laughs. | |

Polynesians have on average the most muscled bodies of all races on Earth (with the unfortunate effect that their endomorphic physiques gain fat even quicker than other people). In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films, most Orcs (who were supposed to be muscled and have high physical strength) have been played by Maori actors for this reason. | |

While Wind Breaker (a griffon) is trying to support Vix-Lei (a minotaur) as she gets back on her feet, he comments on how heavy she is.
