obese

On-Yomi: ボウ

Elements:

obese, moon, month, flesh, part of the body, compass, direction

Heisig story:

If you eat too much, you may need a compass to find your way around the obese mass of flesh that piles up in the midsection. Compare this with your stories for round (Frame 44) and fat (Frame 494), similar in meaning but distinct in imagery.

Koohii stories:

1) [dwhitman] 11-12-2007(286): "Flesh in all directions" = obese.

2) [DrWarrior12] 6-9-2007(149): Yo momma so obese, she changed the direction of the moon.

3) [sfekas] 28-6-2008(51): Yo momma so obese, she made the moon change direction. (I like DrWarrior12's story, but switched the words to match the kanji.).

4) [Chadokoro_K] 11-9-2007(16): animal fat / +fat —– BODY PART [FLESH], DIRECTION [COMPASS] ** Hint: Animal FLESH can contain a lot of ANIMAL FAT, so you point a special "fat-measuring COMPASS" at it to measure how much FAT it contains. … Note: this does not mean "obese," nor is it used in compound words meaning obese. It is always used together with "shi" in "shibou" for various types of "fats." [D2060].

5) [elanlan] 30-3-2011(15): In response to DrWarrior12: Yo' mama's so obese, I needed a compass to navigate her round flesh last night. :P.
