    Omg guys! I can’t pronounce german! Tee hee hee!
    Also, how is it fat shaming? If people said ‘it ain’t over until the short lady sings’ nobody’s panties would be in a twist. Fat is just an adjective. If you’re fat and you don’t like being described as fat, you’re a pain in the ass

    The best part: “Celebrating success prematurely can really come back to bite you.” So relevant to today.

    During the time when the opera play was written(about 1800s), being fat was a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
    I don’t think “fat lady sings” is fat shamming at all since it traces back to the opera where people had a different perspective of a fat lady than they do now.

    The list of references isn't complete without Bianca Castafiore from "The Adventures of Tintin" (Hergé), but I don't remember, that the phrase “it ain’t over till the fat lady sings!” was ever used in one of the comics.

    There is/was a band called The Fat Lady Sings, and that's what I thought I was going to get here - who they are/were. I have their CD and particularly like their song "Alien."
    I always think of Kate Smith, singing "God Bless America" at Phila Flyers games back in their glory days.

    Turns out, being overweight has been proven to improve vocal quality, especially in women.

    Mentioning/saying someone who is overweight or fat is not fat-shaming. If you can't handle being fat, don't.

    “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings” has been around for decades. Very appropriate in today’s Aussie multicultural vernacular.

    Thank you for informing me of the origin of the phrase. I'm going to celebrate the wit of Texas Tech sports information director Ralph Carpenter for the rest of my life.
    You left out the important fact that the German composer Richard Wagner was a hero of the German Nazies.
    I don't see how associating fat ladies with operas is fat-shaming. Some women are too skinny and some women are too fat.
    Same with some men. My grandchildren have four cats, one is twice the size of others. It is more aggressive than the other cats and bullies them, just as fat people are often bullies. Our wit is sometimes our only defense against people who are too fat.
    What do you have against Texas cowboys and Texas sports announcers?

    "Fat-shaming" is the only social justice issue I will never get on-board with and actively discourage. Obesity in Australia is at epidemic levels and it's a very serious and expensive health concern. Being obese *should* be shameful. Eat right. Get exercise. Be healthy. Encourage others to do the same. Furthermore, nit-picking a turn-of-phrase under the guise of a history lesson will do little to endear people to this cause as it just underlines the notion that left-leaning folk offend too easily and are more focused on censorship and whinging.

      Wrong attitude!
      Eat as much as you like, do as less sport as you like, and die without complaining!
      What's about ableism?
      What's about lookims?
      BTW: The fat lady who sings in the aria isn't ashamed. You need a certain amount of body size, to have the resonance corpus to fill the opera.

    Sorry lady but you’re asian and wearing that blonde wig and viking outfit is cultural appropriation and as a person of european descent I find that offensive also speaking german badly is also offensive. Reported, blocked, disliked, etc.
