Ex. “For she was not exactly undergrown” is the most tactfully hilarious (or hilariously tactful) way to call someone fat that I’ve ever come across.

I’m begging you to read the Wife of Bath’s Prologue if you haven’t already. Her Tale is great too but the Prologue smashed all notions I had of medieval chastity.

“The Miller’s Tale”…to call it “bawdy” is an understatement. That said, I’m genuinely pleased to be reminded that humans have been making fart jokes since time immemorial.
