For some reason, people with cute accents seem to be able to pull off being obnoxious far better than those with, let's say Queens or Boston accents.
What is the appropriate way to respond to a 60-year-old friend of the family who smacks you on the butt and tells you that you're looking like a fatty?

Tell her she's looking fat herself. British people (I'm just talking about my family, but I think this is fairly true generally) insult each other more than we do here. And it is meant affectionately. I'm constantly teased about my small head and lack of tits. It's just banter, meant to be friendly. Start eating.
