Stands for "tenth of a ton", i.e. 200 pounds, and is used to refer to women of such size. There are also "over
toats", which is , of course OVER 200 lbs. This term can be used freely and should replace
BBW as a general term for overweight women. A BBW could be a TOAT, but not all
TOATs are Big Beautiful Women.
" I no longer wondered why that Honda Civic scraped the ground pulling into Dairy Queen after I saw the two
TOATS get out and rush the counter."
Queen Latifah is a BBW and probably a TOAT, but the fatty at Walmart in sweats and flip flops buying cigs, grape soda and
circus peanuts is just a TOAT.
