What's it called when you make a word shorter than it really

it's called a stroke

Abbreviating?

How do you actually get a body like that? Thin waist and phat ass?

>>37652265
Those are called abbrevs.

I don't think it's the same thing.
"Mister" would probably be written as Mstr as opposed to "Mr."

This might be what you're looking for OP. This page would suggest that clipping actually changes how the word is sounded out but I don't see why the terminology would be restricted to words that don't always necessarily end up having the same pronunciation

>>37652394
I don't think this is the same thing either.

>ad (advertisement), cable (cablegram)
>coon (raccoon)
>ma'am (madam)
>cablegram (cable telegram)
These all just use sections of the words and that's it.

Well in most cases I can think of it's usually the vowel that is being dropped. All I can find is it being called the unofficial term "Vowel Dropping" and it's generally used for marketing to make something sound more "hip" or "more zippy"

There's a plebbit thread here discussing it

I do it all the time when programming variable names.

thanks, I noticed that too. I think you're right about the "hip" thing.

You replied to a comment directly related to the image by referring to the amount of body fat one has. You pretty much did say she was fat indirectly. If you didn't think it was fat, then why didn't you just say "target certain body parts for mass" dullard.

>>37653683
Holy shit you are dumb. All humans have body fat. Saying someone has fat on their body is not the same as saying that someone is fat.

I'm assuming English isn't your first language, otherwise there is no excuse for being this mind-blowingly retarded.

>>37653707
But most of her visible mass and curves come from powerlifting. Fat she has is irrelevant. It just makes her less toned.

>upper glutes thicker than lower glutes

I feel bad for women that suffer through this
