Prior to WW1, many Germans emigrated to England. A lot of the young men found jobs as waiters.
When war broke out, these same young men returned to Germany, to join the fight.
During the battle of Ypres/Flanders, the English snipers would call out…“Waiter!”
They would pop out of their foxholes.

At 350 lbs President Taft earned himself the nick name “tubs” posthumously and in turn the phrases “tubby” as well as “chubby” are used to describe fat people still today by supposedly getting himself stuck in the white house bathtub. It’s been discovered since then that the story was actually a lie based on the fact that he had foreseen the possibility and commissioned a company to build 3 of the largest bathtubs ever made for a single person at that time…they were 7 feet long by 41 inches wide and literally weighed a ton.
