Fettupptag

Fettupptag is a neologism found mainly in German-language online communities. It refers to a day associated with fats, typically used in casual or humorous contexts. There is no widely accepted official definition, and usage varies between speakers and platforms.

Origin and form: The term seems to be a coined compound combining fett (fat) and tag (day). It is not listed in standard dictionaries and lacks formal status. Variants in spelling and capitalization occur in online texts.

Usage: In memes, blogs, and social media, fettupptag is used to describe occasions devoted to fatty foods, indulgence, or discussion of fats in nutrition. It may function as satire of dieting norms, a light-hearted celebration of rich foods, or a self-referential tag in posts about cravings. Because it is informal, meanings are highly context-dependent.

Variants: Some writers spell it as "Fett-Upptag" or simply as "Fettup Tag." The lack of standardization means capitalization and hyphenation vary.
