It's a medical term, but sure. It doesn't present a value judgement like "grossly".
And I would suggest that rather than use the word "obese" at all, just stick to "fat". It's not a pejorative word on its own, unless you choose to make it so.
I'm glad you say you want to avoid embarrassing the fat person in question, but you do get that calling something "gross" is pretty....gross, right? |
