Fatgreatly

Fatgreatly is a neologism that appears in contemporary online discourse and in speculative fiction to describe a dramatic increase in fat content or adipose tissue. It can function as a verb, meaning to cause a rapid or pronounced accumulation of fat, and as an adverb, meaning to an extreme degree with respect to fat. The term is not part of standard dictionaries and has no formal definition in medical or nutritional literature.

Origin and usage: The word blends fat with greatly, adopting a common English construction for verbs. Its earliest documented uses appear in microblog posts and fan fiction from the early 2020s, where it is used more for emphasis or humor than as a precise technical term.

Examples: As a verb: "The engineered diet fatgreatly increased triglyceride synthesis in the yeast strain." As an adverb: "The sauce fatgreatly raises its fat content." In speculative fiction, the term can describe a fictional technology or natural process that accelerates adipogenesis or lipid production.

Contexts and reception: In real-world nutrition science, fatgreatly is considered informal and potentially misleading if treated as a scientific measure. In online culture, it functions as a meme or rhetorical device for exaggeration about food or metabolism. In fiction, Fatgreatly may denote a hypothetical mechanism or artifact that controls fat generation.
