    Agreed. Moving away from body shaming, here are a couple of names for such a huge vehicle: Pavement Princess, Emotional Support Vehicle.

      Just to be pedantic and nit picky, if we want to move away from insulting body features I feel that moving to insulting gender isn’t a great thing to move to. Pavement Princess as a pejorative is mostly relying on our assumptions of princesses, end by extension the female side of the species, being delicate and useless.

      Just a thought, I’ve used the term myself, though I wish I could find a better one. ESV might be the one I go to in the future.

        Good point, I’ll stick with ESV instead.

        That’s… Actually a good point.

        I’ll probably not stop using it, for the moment at least… But it’s something to consider…
