No matter how interested you are in fitness, I don't think your head should ever be particularly meaty.

Sounds like you need to do more ear-ups and eyebrow presses.

It's a way for out of shape nerds to make themselves feel better. Because obviously if someone is fit and attractive they have to be imperfect in another way, because it wouldn't be fair for them to be both smart and attractive

Because meathead has multiple meanings and not all of them are mocking somebody for putting more effort into their bodies than their brains. Archie Bunker famously used the phrase to describe out-of-touch liberals, for instance.

Archie famously was an uninformed bigot who didn't know what words meant, or didn't know the right word he meant to use, so I'm not sure that's a great example.

Yes, it does. Manlet is the slang word for short men supposedly compensating for their height by getting very muscular. It's not just a short man.

I've only seen it used for athletes under 6'0. I have never made the connection to fitness, but I suppose it works because you have to be in great shape to make it as an undersized athlete

So I guess you can relate to him, huh? =p At any rate, the fitness freak definition for meathead is more recent and his usage was certainly correct at the time. Calling people meathead to mock their steroid use or obsession with lifting *might* be more common than that other meaning today, but it's certainly not the only meaning.

As for Archie Bunker, the guy knew his insults. You can't give the character credit for a lot, but that was pretty much his area of expertise.

Remember how recently you said your rep of being a lifting guy is overblown, and you were making fun of humblebrag topics? Then how come like 80% of your topics that I see are humblebrags about lifting? Anyways, I would think you know that a meathead is a specific type of person who lifts, not all of them. A meathead is someone like Joe Rogan.

As for manlet, I thought that was generally any kind of overcompensating short dude, so yes they could be fit, but they also might just be generally aggressive, chauvinistic, drive loud or overbearing vehicles, etc.

Why do you identify as a meathead though, you can lift and not be a meathead. Are you just trolling or is there something I'm missing where meathead is a badge of honor? I never saw it as something that people self-identify as
