“I’m not fat—I’m flooded” (human body is 80% water)

“The human body is roughly 60% water. I’m not fat, I’m flooded” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images.
     
“apparently we are 90% water, so I’m not fat… I’m flooded #soggypanda” was posted on Twitter by Neil Fogarty on September 14, 2011. “We are 70% water then I’m not fat I’m flooded !” was posted on Twitter by Kerly López on September 17, 2013. “The human body is roughly 60% water… I’m not fat ... I’m flooded” was posted on Twitter by KySunflower on February 11, 2017. “They say that your body is made of 80% water. I’m not fat, I’m flooded” (shown on a meme, with a picture of a fat cat) was posted on Reddit—Cats on August 24, 2018.
     
Similar sayings include “I’m not fat—just short for my weight,”  “I’m not overweight—I’m undertall,” “I’m not fat—I’m fluffy,” “I’m not fat—I’m insulated,” “I’m not fat—I’m just big boned,” “I’m not fat—I’m just well-marbled,” “I’m not fat—I’m just easy to see,” “I’m not fat—I’m just so sexy, it overflows,” “I’m not fat—I’m cultivating mass” and “I’m not fat—my stomach is just in 3D.”

Just read an old KP health article. A person can be 50-75% water. So, I’ve come to the conclusion, I’m not fat, I’m flooded. #ChadLife
